... Up: Science Software Applications . ... It has extensions for creating GUI (Tk) and object-oriented ([incr tcl]) applications. Several Tcl-based tools that may be used for astronomical and other scientific applications have been created and are discussed. One example is ptcl , which registers PGPLOT functions as Tcl commands, creating a powerful interactive plotting package. ... Both programs use the same C code, Tcl commands, and [incr tcl] classes; only the GUIs are different. ...

... A data set contains a science frame and all its associated calibration frames. In order to archive a maximum of efficiency the CCD package uses a simple and straightforward naming convention: the names of the data sets are identical to the names of the science frames. ... By combining the calibration frames of a particular exposure type ( e.g. bias) the user can create a master calibration frame. ... Below follows a listing of calibration frames that currently can be handling in the CCD package. ...
