SYNOPSIS

xrit2raw [OPTIONS] xrit_file [output_raw_file]  

DESCRIPTION

converts an XRIT, SATMOS-compatible file (LRIT/HRIT files) into a raw file.

SATMOS XRIT files have the following name convention : H-000-MSG1__-MSG1________-XXXXXX___-CYCLE____-YYYYMMDDhhmm

(XXXXXX is the name of an MSG channel, such as IR016, VIS006, etc., while YYYYMMDDhhmm is the time of acquisition)

The XRIT format is one of the numerous formats in which MSG (METEOSAT SECOND GENERATION) data are provided. In order to let the user read easily the content of such files without bothering with a new format, xrit2raw converts it into a simple raw file (a simple binary array of values with no header).  

OPTIONS

-P prologue_file
saves the XRIT prologue into the raw file prologue_file

-n segment
extracts only one segment of 464 rows (between 1 and 8)

-r
reverses the image

-s
stores MSG counts (short integer) into the raw file (default behavior)

-f
stores MSG calibrated data as loat into the raw file

-d
stores MSG calibrated data as double into the raw file
