WBPP v2.0 and FITS keywords with dashes "

tjz

Member
I am trying to get WBPP v2.0.2 to use the FITS keyword "SET-TEMP" when grouping files. It seems like a '-' character is not accepted when entering the keywords. Unfortunately, this is the keyword that Sequence Generator Pro uses for the camera set temperature. Is this something that might be allowed in a future version of WBPP2.0?

Thanks,

Tom
 
It looks as though allowing "-" in keywords (like "SET-TEMP" or "DATE-OBS") and values (like "-20C") is a good idea.
 
On further examination, I note that some PI-generated files (e.g. master files) use "-" as a separator between keyword_value pairs, so it is not available for use in keywords or values. In the long term it would be nice to find a fix for this, but I can see why there has been a rather resounding silence in response to requests for "-" in keywords / values.
