Summary of BATSE solar data, Kim Tolbert, 12-Jun-2018

The files in this directory were compiled through the project described here:
https://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/batse/batse_archive.html

There is some description of the data files here:
ftp://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/pub/batse/README.BATSE

The software to use these data files are in the Solar SoftWare (SSW) tree
in the CGRO BATSE branch.  In $SSW/cgro/batse/idl there are a number of 
help_xxx.txt files containing information on various aspects of the data. 
Start with help_general.txt.

After including cgro/batse in your SSW installation, adding batse to the
SSW_INSTR definition, and modifying the BATSE_DATA environment variable in the 
setup.batse_env file, you are ready to use the batse software. You can start by 
just typing 
  batse_menu
(to get the main batse menu of tasks)
or
  fsplot
(to get directly to the interactive plot program)

To retrieve the pre-accumulated flare data (DISCLA in two most sunward detectors summed, 2
channels covering ~25-50 and ~50-100 keV), and plot in the plotman interface, do this:
  restore_flare, flare=3030, sec=sec, data=data, utb=utb
  utobj = obj_new('utplot', sec, data, utbase=utb)
  utobj->plotman, desc='batse_3030', title='BATSE 3030', plotman_obj=pobj
