Invoking Rays
To invoke rays, issue the command: rays [options] filename

name of an ingest header file stored in the directory /usr/iris_data/ingest.
Ingest files are named with a timestamp for when the data were gathered. For example, ingest data gathered at 10:17:30 on December 2, 1994 is stored in a file named 941202101730.
