# rtdCubeDisplay(1)

simple FITS cube display program

## NAME

rtdCubeDisplay - simple FITS cube display program

## SYNOPSIS

**rtdCubeDisplay** *-f \<filename\> -c \<cameraname\> \[-l\] \[-t msec\] \[-v\]*

## DESCRIPTION

rtdCubeDisplay displays FITS cube images for the real-time display. By specifying a FITS cube file (option -f) and a camera name (option -c) the images are extracted from the file and an image event is sent to the rtdServer. In order to display the image a rtd widget application e.g. 'rtd' must register to the same camera name as specified above. For the 'rtd' application this is done by  setting the RTD\_CAMERA environment.

- **-f \<filename\>**

  FITS cube images

- **-c \<cameraname\>**

  Camera name to identify real time source

- **-l**

  Loop indefinetly

- **-t msec**

  Delay time between cube images (in msec) default 500 ms

- **-v**
