General description: The MARVELSplanfile.par file is created when a set of user-specified MJD's are scanned for whirls. The whirlscanner routine indexes the plates it finds and lists them in MARVELSplanfile.par, along with the range of dates encompassing all the observations. By deleting lines from MARVELSplanfile prior to running testwrapper, you can control which plates are processed for RV extraction (only plates listed in MARVELSplanfile will get processed, even if they are present in the sister file MARVELSplantable.fits).
Naming convention: MARVELSplanfile.par.
Approximate size: 3 Kbytes.
