plotacs

            Prepare an overview-plot of the contents of an RXTE ACS-File
            (ACS is the Attitude Control System). The program plots
            the deviation of the pointing-position of the satellite
            from the nominal source position, the elevation of the
            source above the horizon, and which of the proportional
            counters is on.

            RXTE

            plotacs,file,ra,dec

            file: filename of the ACS file (only one file can be
                  given right now)
            ra  : RA of the source (2000.0 coordinates, degrees)
            dec : DEC of the source(2000.0 coordinates, degrees)

            The function reads the important columns from the ACS
            file and plots them.
