Program ACCR
Date 23 September 1982
The ACCR software will take an ACCR tape(s) (normally one) produced on the
ACCR machine, transform the data, and produce the 633 message. This is all done
by one ST command initiated from the console.
As a preliminary step the R752 message must be processed. The R752 will be
sent no latter than 30 minutes after the associated R750. Two programs will be
executed as a result: MPFMODIFY and ACQ11A. These programs process the RECUR-752
message, update the Mensuration Parameters File (MPF) in the data base, and build
the ACCR data files. Upon reciept of the RECUR-752 message the CSP automatically
starts 'ESDRIVER' which builds the runstream and starts the run-id 'ACQ752'.
MPFMODIFY reads the RECUR message, checks it as a valid message, then extracts
the ACCIQAS support data and stores it into the MPF. ACQ11A retrieves data from
the MPF, calculates the ground sample distance for each frame/strip, and stores
it in the collateral file for ACCR processing.
The runstream started up contains three programs. The first program is a
COBOL program to access the XSS*ACCR752 file, produced by the 752. This program
(ACCR1) then creates a SDF file XSS*STREAM.) which the FORTRAN math model (ACCR)
accesses. This SDF file contains frame and strip length data.
When the COBOL (ACCR1) program finishes, the FORTRAN (ACCR) program starts
up. The FORTRAN program first reads in all the information stored in the
XSS*STREAM. file. The program next reads the ACCR tape and begins to process the
records through the math model. When each substrip/frame has completed processing,
it is then written to the scratch tape. When the FORTRAN program finishes process-
ing the ACCR tape, it loads the total image and total subimage count into another
SDF file (XSS*STFILE.).
A second COBOL program (ACCRPT) then reads the scratch tape and the XSS*STFILE.
file. This program reformats the information into the form of the RECUR - 633
message. This information is then written to a mass storage file XSS*ACCR.).
An XCH program will then be initiated to read the XSS*ACCR. file and send out
the RECUR - 633 message.
The ACCR program will normally be run daily upon receipt of the ACCR tape
from the Area. This program should be run before 1700.
