There is also an IDL program available that will read the
BATSE 3B catalog data files 3b_grossc.xxx, where
xxx designates the
dataset (for example, basic, or flux):
The calling sequence for the reader is as follows:
IDL>
read_3b_catalog, data, header
data is a stucture
containing the catalog information, and header is a explanation of
the dataset. You will be given a choice of the catalog table to read.
The required data files are available:
3b_grossc.basic
3b_grossc.cmaxmin
3b_grossc.duration
3b_grossc.flux
3b_grossc.efficiency
3b_grossc.comments
