Multiple cone search window
The multiple cone search window can be opened using the
Multicone button (
)
in the Control Window's toolbar, or its
VO or Joins menus.
It allows you to select one of a number of external web services which
provide remote catalogue queries, and execute a query for each row
of an input table.
This effectively allows you to perform a positional crossmatch between a
local table and a remote one.
The window consists of a Registry Query Panel at the top, and a Multiple Positional Search Panel below.
The search panel includes a Verbosity selector as well as the normal features: this allows you to choose options for how many columns will appear in the output table, from 1 (minimum) to 3 (maximum). Some services will take notice of this parameter and return narrower or wider tables respectively, and others will ignore it.
