  NRH FILES FORMAT

    Image files
        Image file format uses binary table extension
        EXTENSION 0
            HEADER0:    General information
            No data

        EXTENSION 1
            HEADER1:    Observation and binary table description
            DATA            in binary table
                    1st column    time in milliseconds (TIME)
                    2nd                image number
                    3th                 image for Stokes parameter I (STOKESI)
                    4th                 optionally image for STOKES parameter V (STOKESV)

    Source tracking files
      EXTENSION 0
            HEADER 0:    General information
            No data

        Same number of extension than sources found by 'Source Tracking'
        EXTENSION N
                    1st column      time in ms (TIME)
                    2nd                Intensity of the maximum of the centroid (INTENSITY)
                    3th                 East-West position in pixels (EWPOS)
                    4th                 North-South position in pixels (NSPOS)
                    5th                 Size of the major axis of the ellipse resulting from the fit to the image (MAJAXIS)
                    6th                 Size of the minor axis of the ellipse (MINAXIS)
                    7th                 Angle of the ellipse with respect to the east-west direction (ANGLE)
                    8th                  Flux (FLUX)

        The dimension for MAJAXIS or MINAXIS is 1/Npixels^2. The dimension in solar radius is
                Dim = IND_RS( 1/SQRT(majaxis value), 0, value of SOLAR_R keyword)

    Pixel coordonate files
        These files are ASCII files

    Flux files
        EXTENSION 0
            HEADER 0:    General information
            No data

        Same number of extension than flux computation made on the same images file
        EXTENSION N
                    1st column    time (TIME)
                    2nd                Flux (FLUX)
