[IMAGER\]PIPELINE SCAN

Scan the currently selected UV tables (from All%FIlter) to find out which spectral lines from the current catalog are covered by the available spectral setups. The identified lines are stored in a new local catalog, named

local-coverage.lin

Lines may appear several times in this catalog, as the UV tables may have redundant spectral coverage. A trimmed version, ordered by increasing frequency, is also created in

sorted-coverage.lin

It can be re-used after edition as a local catalog. Both catalogs are in an Astro CSV (Comma Separated Value) format and are easily editable (e.g. to suppress spectral lines too close to each other, in particular for hyperfine component groups).

This is Step 2.4, NEXT step is ChECK.
