XmCCD
-----

This distribution includes source code to utilize the Santa Barbara Instrument
Group (SBIG) shared library libsbigudrv.so with a Motif-based graphical user
interface program to control SBIG astronomical CCD cameras.

The version of the library included here is dated 22 February 2005 from the
SBIG LinuxDevKit_4.4.3.tar.gz package. Since the driver and camera control
protocols are proprietary, source code is not available for the library.
However, there is a very complete manual accompanying the library,
kernel modules, necessary files and utilities in the sbig subdirectory.

The latest SBIG library is available from

http://www.sbig.com

However, the version included here is known to work with this program.

The most recent version of XmCCD is available from

http://www.astro.louisville.edu/moore/software

and you are encouraged to check there for the latest release, sources for
other software needed to compile and run XmCCD, and supporting utilities.

XmCCD software is offered under the GNU Public License.
Please see the files LICENSE and COPYRIGHT for more information.

INSTALL describes how to build and install XmCCD. It does require other programs
to compile and run, some of which are not usually present in Linux
distributions. The sources for these programs are available from the XmCCD
home at http://www.astro.louisville.edu/moore/software. Before building and
running XmCCD, You will need to install the following if they are not already
on your system:

OpenMotif or LessTif
fxload
SAOImage ds9
fitsio

The fitsio library package provides standard FITS library support for
the image file format in xmccd.

In addition to these, GIMP and CINEPAINT are very useful for subsequent image
processing. GIMP is often included in comprehensive Linux distributions. It is
an 8-bit image processing program comparable to Adobe Photoshop. CINEPAINT is a
32-bit program modeled on GIMP that is more useful for astronomical images with
large dynamic range. Both programs will read the FITS format camera image files
written by XmCCD or ds9.

Links to the original sources for these programs are given on the
web site for XmCCD.
