SPD2FITS / SPD2TXT - SkyPipe to FITS / TEXT conversion tools

SPD2FITS converts SkyPipe SPD files to FITS format, which then can be read with fv or any other FITS viewer capable of displaying "binary tables" (event data).

SPD2TXT converts SkyPipe SPD files to tab-separated text-files, which can be plotted with any modern plotting software that can handle tab-separated data.
