data is an IDL object. You can extract information from the object using various methods. E.g.,
data is an IDL object. Information is extracted from the object through a large number of ''methods'' and some examples are given below.

To determine the coordinates of the center of the raster, do:

wd0 is a 3D array containing the window data for the specified window (0 in this case). You can get a list of all methods by doing:
To find the exposure time for each exposure of the raster, do:

A single data window can be extracted by doing:

A number of useful header tags can be sent to a structure by doing:
where the specified wavelength is used to pick out the data window containing that particular wavelength. The first dimension of WD is always wavelength, the second is always solar-Y, and the third can be either solar-X or time depending if the observation was a raster or a sit-and-stare observation.
