NAME

dat2cam - covert dat file back into cam file

SYNOPSIS

This inverts cam2dat; converting a 4 column ascii file back into a raw .cam file.
It can also cope with (and scale) floating-point data.

DESCRIPTION

dat2cam inverts cam2dat.
It reads a 4-column ascii data file, and converts it back to the raw data file for the IR camera.
Columns are interleaved into quadrants, but the data ordering is otherwise unchanged:

The input file columns usually contain unsigned integers, from printf('%u'), and represent quadrants 0-3.
If input format is floating point, it is scaled and offset, to map [-fullscale, fullscale] => [0, 0xffffff]
Comments in the input file, prepended with '#', are discarded.

USAGE:    dat2cam [OPTIONS]    input.dat output.cam     #use '-' for stdin,stdout.
OPTIONS:    -f  fullscale      input is in floating point format, [+/- fullscale].
             -h, --help         show help
