WRITE

 

        FITS\WRITE [argument] [/CHECK]

    This command is  used  to  write  data  in  FITS  format.  The  argument
    interpretation  depends  on the current device. In disk mode (before any
    MOUNT was issued), it is interpreted as the name of the  FITS  file.  On
    tape, there are three possibilities:
      - FITS\WRITE *
        writes all the scans currently selected in the CLASS index at end of
        tape. This command is the most efficient way to write a FITS tape.
      - FITS\WRITE
        writes the current scan at the end of the tape
      - FITS\WRITE HERE
        writes the current scan at the current tape position.
    Option /CHECK may be used to list the FITS header while writing the tape
    files.
