Spectral cutout service

[Petr Skoda]

Hi all,

Has been someone working on a implementation of a simple implementation of
a service delivering through SSAP not whole spectrum but only part of it 
in selected wavelength range?

I am not able to find anything in SSAP 1.04 concerning the relevant 
parameters. As I understand the BAND should be used to only impose 
additional constraint on selection of spectra.
But if there is no  better way I would try to create 2 services with 
different serviceURL to the same archive but for the cutout the BAND would 
mean - select all spectra containing that range AND cut them to those 
limits before sending.

Or is there another parameter conceived for this purpose (e.g.
CUTRANGE=wave_min/wave_max or CUTBAND ?

Or to do the cutout as default and device parametr for delivering whole 
spectrum ?

What do you suggest ? Is there anything established for image cutouts ?
What is the current support of BAND in VO spectral clients ?

Thanks

Petr Skoda
