COMMAND NAME: fraction TYPE: Data selection SYNTAX: e.g. "fraction > 8" or "fraction <= 60%" DESCRIPTION: Sets the fraction of the data processed for this scan which will pass the filtering functions applied in read, edit, and plot. The syntax is quite forgiving. The requirements are that there be an inequality operator, possibly followed by an equals sign, followed by a sensible number, possibly followed by a percent sign. If the percent sign is missing, the number is interpreted as tenths of the scheduled data, instead of a percentage. Spaces are irrelevant. If "fraction" is typed with no arguments, or with just "0" as an argument, all restrictions on the fraction of data processed are removed. Note that this filter option operates on the value of the last digit in the ESDESP field of the A-file format, which is placed there by FRNGE or fourfit. Before the implementation of baseline- dependent scan lengths in the schedule files, this number was unreliable. Also, being only a single digit, this quantity is only accurate to the nearest 10%, so more precise values entered with the fraction command are rounded off.
