[52.05] Applying IDL Sockets to VSO

D.M. Zarro (L-3Com/GSI)

Research Systems Inc. (RSI) introduced support for TCP/IP sockets in Interactive Data Language (IDL) version 5.0. These sockets provide capabilities for remote data access in IDL that are routinely available in languages such as C, PERL, and Java. I will describe how the RHESSI team has incorporated IDL sockets into its analysis software. I will demonstrate how we program and use sockets to access worldwide-distributed archived RHESSI data and synoptic observations. The ideas and techniques that we have implemented lend themselves naturally to VSO applications.
