NAME
Astro::FITS::HdrTrans::UFTI - UKIRT UFTI translations
SYNOPSIS
use Astro::FITS::HdrTrans::UFTI;
%gen = Astro::FITS::HdrTrans::UFTI->translate_from_FITS( %hdr );
DESCRIPTION
This class provides a generic set of translations that are specific to the UFTI camera of the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope.
METHODS
- this_instrument
-
The name of the instrument required to match (case insensitively) against the INSTRUME/INSTRUMENT keyword to allow this class to translate the specified headers. Called by the default
can_translate
method.$inst = $class->this_instrument();
Returns "UFTI".
COMPLEX CONVERSIONS
These methods are more complicated than a simple mapping. We have to provide both from- and to-FITS conversions All these routines are methods and the to_ routines all take a reference to a hash and return the translated value (a many-to-one mapping) The from_ methods take a reference to a generic hash and return a translated hash (sometimes these are many-to-many)
- to_UTDATE
-
Converts FITS header values into
Time::Piece
object. This differs from the base class in the use of the DATE rather than UTDATE header item. - from_UTDATE
-
Converts UT date in
Time::Piece
object intoYYYY-MM-DD
format for DATE header. This differs from the base class in the use of the DATE rather than UTDATE header item.
