[udf-dlm-develop] IMAGE analysis software status : EUV

[Joerg-Micha J. <jm...@Or...>]

I wanted to share some feedback from EUV (UArizona) on their status
concerning using DLM's. This is FYI only at this point, no-one should feel
obliged to act. They are getting core dumps, I am in the process of
finding out why ...

Cheers,

Joerg-Micha

Hi Micha:

	I wanted to let you know that we (EUV) are still interested in the
UDF-IDL interface. I installed the latest software (version 0.24) and ran
through all of our data types, with pretty much the same results as before.
I'll include a table below with what I found. Like FUV, our skymap data is
stored in matrix form, so we would also need support for that data type.
With the current software, reading an EUV skymap only returns the first
column of the matrix (1 out of 600), so it's not too useful as it stands.
