Errors

This section documents warnings and errors generated by this task (if any). Note that warnings and errors can also be generated in the SAS infrastructure libraries, in which case they would not be documented here. Refer to the index of all errors and warnings available in the HTML version of the SAS documentation.

readmap02error 
 input CCD map is not a 2-D array
 
readmap03error 
 input CCD map has too large dimensions
 
readmap04error 
 WINDOWDX keyword incompatible with array size
 
readmap05error 
 WINDOWDY keyword incompatible with array size
 
readmap06error 
 no WINDOWX0 keyword in CCD file
 
readmap07error 
 no WINDOWY0 keyword in CCD file
 
readmap08error 
 input CCD map has non-standard dimensions
 
readmap09error 
 window chosen by parameters outside the actual window in the data
 
getoffvar02error 
 offsets have wrong dimensions
 
getoffvar03error 
 offsets file incompatible with CCD file
 
readmap10warning 
 general ODF keywords not present
corrective action: continue
 
getOffsets10warning 
 no good pixels in some rows/columns. The corresponding offsets are set to 0
corrective action: set offsets manually in output offsets file
 
getOffsets12warning 
 less good pixels than there are offsets. Unreliable result
corrective action: try using another diagnostic image file
 
thresh10warning 
 Events larger than bipixels but below the EMDH lower threshold exist. They will be masked in the masked CCD map anyway
corrective action: Setting the EMDH lower threshold to more than twice the EDU threshold is non-standard. Unless this is voluntary, try lowering emdhlowerthreshold or increasing eduthreshold
 
readmap11warning 
 NPIXEL is not equal to the number of pixels in the image. Proceeding anyway
corrective action: This should not happen with a proper diagnostic image file. Check input image is not corrupted
 
readmap12warning 
 the EMDH upper threshold is lower than the EMDH lower threshold. EDUSOFT cannot find any event
corrective action: check this was intended
