The possibility to have Visitor Instruments at the VLTI has been granted to permit innovative observations by teams using stand-alone instruments, free from a substantial fraction of the requirements for fully automated VLTI general use instruments. In addition, the Visitor Instruments could provide a powerful scientific/technical test bench for new instrumental concepts, eventually to be incorporated later in VLTI facility instruments. ... a thorough technical description of the instrument, . ...

. Shell procedures may use the trap command to catch or ignore Unix operating system signals . The form of the trap command is: trap ' command-list ' signal-list . Several traps may be in effect at the same time. If multiple signals are received simultaneously, they are serviced in ascending order. To check what traps are currently set use the trap command. For example: trap . Most common signals to be caught . Handling command lists . Examples .

CDBS (Calibration Data Base System) is a pathway of software, protocol, and procedures which starts with several groups of Instrument Scientist teams collecting all of the various forms of calibration data, packaging it and delivering to CDBS. The data is put through CDBS Operations with the end result being delivery to HST's ground system reduction pipeline (OPUS), archiving to the Data Archiving and Distribution System (DADS), and population of the CDBS on-line archives. ...
