How To Access Your HET Data
Upon acceptance of your project by the HET staff, you will be given an
ftp account for retrieving your data from the data server in Austin.
For illustration we will give an example of retrieving data
for the project UT02-2-004. This project has been provided with the login
name of schwartz and the password of Sponge. The PI has been
notified by the HET staff that she has data from the night of October 31, 2002
UT (20021031). The commands used to retrieve the data using the
standard Unix command line ftp program are listed to the right in the table
below:
| ftp to hydra.as.utexas.edu |
ftp -i hydra.as.utexas.edu |
| use your login name to log in |
schwartz |
| use the provided password |
Sponge |
| cd to the directory that is named the same as your
project |
cd UT02-1-004 |
| cd to the data directory named for the UT observing
date |
cd 20021031 |
| set ftp to binary mode |
binary |
| get all the data |
mget * |
| cd to the calibrations directory |
cd /calibrations |
| cd to the data directory named for the UT observing date |
cd 20021031 |
| get the README file describing the available calibration files |
mget README.* |
| get all the files needed to calibrate your data |
mget * |
| exit ftp |
bye |
When you are notified that new data are available, the e-mail message
should give a description of the contents of the files taken for your
project. If there are any questions about the data, calibrations, or
anything to do with the observations, please send an e-mail
to the Resident Astronomers.
If there are any problems with the ftp system (including lost or forgotten
passwords or account names), please contact Jim Fowler.
