Required Data File Format
Here is described the format of data files accepted by the on-line plotter. This format is the format of output data files, made by Munipack for DOS photometry package (see http://munipack.astronomy.cz/).
Description:
- must be ASCII text file
- first two rows are expected to contain header with some description and are skipped by the plotter
- following rows must contain at least 2 columns; first column is always the full julian date, second column contains magnitude; third column, if present, contains single measurement uncertainty (estimate of standard deviation)
- if file contains more than 3 columns described above, each odd column must contain magnitude and each even column must contain the magnitude's uncertainty
- file can contain blank rows or rows filled by spaces, which are skipped
- if magnitude is 99.999, it means a flag for bad measurement and is not plotted
