Loading a query in the task launcher
This page shows you how to load an example xml query in the task launcher. It assumes that you have the query file already saved in your localdisk.
Note: as of Oct 2007 the tables have been re-arranged - thus some of the example queries below will no longer work.
With VOExplorer - select the IPHAS table. The form of the query to generate a cone serach is:
SELECT * FROM PhotoObj as P, tGetNearbyObj as G WHERE G."_ra" =20.0 and G."_dec" = 60.0 and G."_r" = 0.1 and P.objID = G.objID
This gives a 1MB output file.
.1. Load the Astrogrid Workbench and click on Task Launcher.
.2. On the File menu select open or click on the second icon in the icon bar to open the query file.
.3. Use the file browser to find the query file and double click on it.
.4. You will get a window like the one below with the query displayed.
.5. Click on the Parameter tab (left). In order to save the output to a file click on the tick box below the Ref heading in Outputs.
.6. This will open a new file browser window. Navigate to the desired folder in the local disk or in MySpace (you can use the icons on the icon bar to create new files and directories) and create or select a file to save the results.
.7. Back to the main task window, click on the green arrow to execute the task.
.8. This will open the VOLookup window in which you can monitor the progress of the query and send the results to TOPCAT.
