Proposal information is provided by users through a set of HTML forms and submitted to the NOAO server where it is processed by a Perl CGI script. Netscape users may optionally attach locally prepared PostScript figures or ASCII text files for inclusion in their proposals using that browser's file upload feature. ...

... In brief, the COS flight software provides several methods for acquiring and centering a target in the aperture in both imaging and dispersed light modes. ... Routine wavelength calibration exposures, or wavecals, are needed by the COS calibration pipeline, calcos , to compensate for the effects of OSM drifts. All wavelength calibration exposures are taken in TIME-TAG mode. ... Typical COS observations use TIME-TAG mode and the PSA, with simultaneous wavelength calibrations taken via TAGFLASH . ...

... NICS will be the only infrared instrument for the first light of the TNG; as a consequence, we decided to incorporate a sufficient degree of operation flexibility by providing the instrument with six different observing modes, three aimed at imaging and three at spectroscopy: . ... It will be possible to use the narrow band filters as order sorters; this will allow to perform high resolution long-slit spectroscopy in the wavelength ranges covered by the available narrow band filters. ...
