USAGE

DESCRIPTION

uvotgcn manages running Swift UVOT software to process UVOT TDRSS packets.

The input packets are FITS files and are accompanied by text pseudo-GCN notices which contain position and error information.

The possible output products are three FITS files: a sky image, a list of sources, and a list of sources correlated against a star catalog; and a Postscript finding chart (field). The catalog file is only created if the source positions are successfully matched to the catalog.
