Hi,

There are a few big EIS fits files which are not easy to be processed by "eis_prep", for example:

20/eis_l0_20070820_170353.fits.gz 122M
21/eis_l0_20070821_000022.fits.gz 118M
21/eis_l0_20070821_133226.fits.gz 117M

    9. 26/eis_l0_20070826_055213.fits.gz 92M
    10. 27/eis_l0_20070827_045520.fits.gz 97M
    11. 27/eis_l0_20070827_170835.fits.gz 81M
    12. 27/eis_l0_20070827_210723.fits.gz 79M
    13. 28/eis_l0_20070828_005937.fits.gz 72M

These fits files are mostly generated by study eg. "HPW001_FULLCCD_v2": doing "full-ccd" scan (with often over 80 raster positions).

The typical error message is: "unable to allocate memory to make array". However, the machine that running "eis_prep" has fairly big enough memory (4GB). One way to let "eis_prep" keep running is probably to do only DC-removal and Abs calibration, not to do CR and HP removal, :-(

Questions:
  1. Is there any way to do 'eis_prep' with these big fits files? Or,
  2. Do we need to suggest that normally try to avoid using full-ccd scan with too many raster postions?
