... A frequently used procedure, alternative to the correction for the chromatic response, is to normalise the continuum to unity by dividing the observed spectrum by a smooth approximation of its continuum. This approximation can be obtained either interactively with the graphic cursor, or from a table (command NORMALIZE/SPECTRUM ) or by dividing the raw data by itself after filtering or smoothing. Median filtering and running average algorithms are well suited for this purpose (command FILTER ). ...

... This section describes how to copy a file between two VMS systems using the COPY command, and between a VMS system and another computer using FTP or Kermit. Remote file access may be made on either the file or record level, but only file level access is discussed here. To access a file, you use normal VMS commands, such as COPY or TYPE , but you specify the file name differently. ... It is also possible to automate your file transfers using scripts in conjunction with the Kermit TAKE command. ...

As a result, a common magnitude scale (contour lines on the maps above, or color scale on Fig.1) will poorly display the short-duration events in a signal. Normalizing each line of the map (fixed duration) so it has unit variance (in effect dividing the energy map by the mean energy spectrum) at each duration restores more details of small-scale activity (Fig. ...

... OM grism data are obtained as image mode data. However the different nature of this type of data, spectra of the objects in the field of view instead of their "sky" image, makes that a special processing must be applied to the grism images. ... They are concatenated in a perl script, omgchain , which works in a similar way to the image and fast mode chains. ... All necessary corrections are applied to the grism data files. ... As we have pointed out OM grism data are image mode data. ...
