Available Commands

The context ASTROMET can be enabled by the command SET/CONTEXT ASTROMET. While in the original implementation everything was done in one programme, in the context ASTROMET the software is split into three commands. These commands take care of the following:

• read the measurements and standard stars, and compute the transformation parameters (this step is performed by the command ASTROMET/TRANSFORM);
• edit the standard star table to remove/restore some stars (this step is performed by the command ASTROMET/EDIT);
• actually compute the converted coordinates (this step is performed by the command ASTROMET/COMPUTE).

The whole process can also be executed in an iterative way by the command ASTROMET/POS1. This commands asks for all input parameters.

• ASTROMET/TRANSFORM
• ASTROMET/EDIT
