Rename the PHT Data Files from Your ISO Data CD

The names on your ISOPHOT data files as delivered to you from ISO Science Center via IPAC do not comply with the requirement of the PIA. You need to rename these files before reading them into PIA. IPAC has a Unix script for this purpose. Click here to get a copy. The following example shows you how to use this script.

1. Call this script "pht_rename" and put somewhere along the serching
   path on your machine.

2. cd to the directory below which you want to rename all the ISOPHOT 
   data files.  For example, if you received a data shipment of
   mutiple observations and you have put this shipment at 
   "/home/me/iso_data" and you want to rename all the files under this
   directory, you can do the following:

       cd /home/me/iso_data
       pht_rename

   If you would like to rename just one observation, say, 
   "/home/me/iso_data/products/p0018028," then do the following

       cd /home/me/iso_data/products/p0018028
       pht_rename

NOTE: You need to run this script at least one level above the directory where your data files are actually located. For example, if the directory leading to your data files is

       /home/me/iso_data/products/p0056430/22400565/

You need to run the script in the following directory (or higher along the path):

       /home/me/iso_data/products/p0056430/
