RFM Driver Table Sections

*HIT Section

07AUG22

Type

Secondary Section - depends on whether HITRAN 'line' molecules (ID#1:99) are required

Description

HITRAN binary or ASCII (.par file) filename

• RFM Spectroscopic Data

Format

Single field.

Field	Type	Description
FILHIT	C200	Name of .hit or .par File

Notes

1. The *HIT section is optional if all 'line' molecules are represented by Look-Up Tables instead, but since you are likely to have only one version of the HITRAN data then you might as well keep the *HIT section in the driver table anyway (data available in LUTs takes precedence).
2. The .par file is the 160-character record format that can be downloaded from the HITRAN web-site.
3. Reading the .par file can be quite slow, so a faster alternative is to convert the .par file to an RFM-specific binary format (.hit file) using the the hitbin program

Example

*HIT 
       hitran_2012.hit    ! HITRAN 2012 data
