Output Variables from EBTEL2 (IDL version) #6
Description
This may be a known problem, but I noticed that the listed outputs from EBTEL2.pro need to be written in order. If one tries to only get selected outputs (by name), the routine returns wrong outputs.
For example:
The initial calling sequence is written as (original ebtel2.pro):
ebtel2, ttime, heat, length, t, n, p, v, ta, na, pa, c11, dem_tr, dem_cor, $
logtdem, f_ratio, rad_ratio, cond, rad_cor,$
classical=classical, dynamic=dynamic, dem_old=dem_old, $
flux_nt=flux_nt, energy_nt=energy_nt, rtv=rtv, $
a_c=a_c, a_0=a_0, a_tr=a_tr, l_fact=l_fact
- Note the order of output variables*
Now, If I need dem_tr, dem_cor and logtdem as outputs, and I use the following command (shown as an example in the routine):
ebtel2, ttime, heat, t, n, p, v, dem_tr, dem_cor, logtdem
It will return ta, na, pa for dem_tr, dem_cor, and logtdem. i.e. one cannot skip specific output variables.
This is not clarified anywhere in the document, so it causes a lot of confusion. Also, I was wondering if there is a way to fix it.
