troubles with set instrument

Russell Knox wrote on Mar 13, 2007

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a translation file for ccdproc. I created a text file in ccddb$kpno called RME.dat, and added an entry in the instruments.men file. I pasted a copy below:

subset	FILTER

'Dark Frame'	dark
'Light Frame'	object
'Bias Frame'	zero
'Flat Field'	flat

However it seems that only the last line in the file is being recognized. When I run ccdlist on a folder with images of every type it will only correctly translate the last entry in the RME.dat file. I.e. if the only line in the translation file is
subset FILTER

ccdlist will display which filters were used in the images, but if the RME.dat file is
subset	FILTER

'Dark Frame'	dark
'Light Frame'	object

it will correctly translate the Light Frame into object, but not the filters or the dark frames.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Russell
