How to make customized Inclinometry az_files

How to make customized Inclinometry az_files

The az_files used for normal inclinometry are
      /jac_sw/itsroot/src/incline/src/azFileCw.dat
      /jac_sw/itsroot/src/incline/src/azFileCcw.dat
      /jac_sw/itsroot/src/incline/src/azFileCwCcw.dat
They have a resolution that is generally 1o but increases to 0.2o around the joints and to 0.1o around the strain gauges.

Making them was a pain as I recall and there is no Unix program to replicate this production at this time.

The file is identified/activated within the INCLINE task by the command

          > incline az_file filename
