Generate SLC parameter and image files for TerraSAR-X SSC data

NAME
par_TX_SLC - reads TerraSAR-X SSC data as provided by DLR and creates the ISP image parameter and SLC file in the format used by GAMMA software.

SYNOPSIS
par_TX_SLC <annotation_XML> <COSAR> <SLC_par> <SLC> [pol];

<annotation_XML>	(input) TerraSAR-X product annotation XML file provided by DLR
<COSAR>	(input) COSAR image data file provided by DLR
<SLC_par>	(output) ISP SLC parameter file (example: yyyymmdd.slc.par)
<SLC>	(output) SLC data file (example: yyyymmdd.slc)
<pol>	polarisation, e.g. HH, HV, VH or VV (default: first polarisation found in the annotation XML file)

EXAMPLES
par_TX_SLC TSX1_SAR__SSC______SM_S_SRA_20070715T225946_20070715T225954.xml IMAGE_HH_SRA_strip_011.cos 20070715.slc.par 20070715.slc

Reads the TerraSAR-X SSC annotation file TSX1_SAR__SSC______SM_S_SRA_20070715T225946_20070715T225954.xml and the corresponding COSAR file IMAGE_HH_SRA_strip_011.cos and generates:
20070715.slc.par - SLC parameter file
20070715.slc - SLC file

As polarisation the default value was chosen, i.e. it is assumed that the polarisation corresponds to the first polarisation in the XML annotation file.

DESCRIPTION
par_TX_SLC is the interface between Terrasar-X SSC data in the format provided by DLR and the format used by GAMMA software. Terrasar-X data are provided in an archive file consisting of a selection of annotation and data files. To import the data into GAMMA software format the main product annotation file in XML format and the corresponding COSAR are needed.
