__Searching the EIS Science Data Catalog on the Web__


The EIS Science Data (AS-RUN) Catalog contains a record of every study run by EIS.  In addition to searching the catalog using the IDL program EIS_CAT, you can now search the catalog from the web and seamlessly download FITS files directly to your computer.  
There are several advantages to searching the science data catalog from the web.   For one, you do not need to have IDL installed nor will you need to keep a local copy of the database.   However, web searches are currently limited to searching the database by time.  In the future, other types may be implemented.

 The EIS Science Database Search Page is located at:
http://hyperion.nascom.nasa.gov/php/eisdp.php

The database is searched by using a simple form.

Currently the database can be searched only by time.  

Enter the starting time of the search in the box labeled Start Time.  Enter the ending time of the search in the box labeled Stop Time.   Then press the submit button in order to display all of the studies in the database that fall within this interval.

Times should be entered in the following format:  Month, day, Year, Hour, Minute, and Second.   All times are specified relative to UTC.

Some examples of valid times are:

03/15/2008 		March 15, 2008
02-14-2007 12:20	12:20 UT on February 14, 2007
April 7, 2008		April 7, 2008
Sep 2, 2009		September 2, 2009

It is not necessary to specify hours, minutes or seconds.

Studies matching the selected times will be then be displayed.

Click on a study to display all of the rasters associated with that study.

Click on a raster to download the FITS file for that raster to your local machine.
