PSRCHIVE User's Guide: Increasing Verbosity

By default, the error messages produced by PSRCHIVE programs are quite terse. For example, 
psredit -c name pulse_473145330.rf.it
TEMPO environment variable not defined
Why in 0437's name is TEMPO required to query an archive parameter? Add the -v command line option to gain more information: 
psredit -v -c name pulse_473145330.rf.it
psredit: error on pulse_473145330.rf.it
Error::stack
        Pulsar::Archive::load
        FITSArchive::load_header
        Pulsar::Telescopes::set_telescope_info
        Tempo::load_obsys
        Tempo::get_configuration
Error::InvalidState
Error::message
        TEMPO environment variable not defined
This sheds a little more light on the problem. At this point, you might decide to either ensure that TEMPO is installed, so that observatory information can be loaded from obsys.dat, or contact the developers and suggest that this is an unreasonable constraint.

Side Note: This particular unreasonable constraint was removed during the development of this documentation.

If you decide to seek help from the developers, it would be best to send as much information as possible by enabling full verbosity mode with the -V command line option; e.g. 

psredit -c name -V pulse_473145330.rf.it >& psredit_bug.log
The log file can then be attached to the Bug Report (below the Detailed Description, at the Upload and Attach a File prompt).
