The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...

... GUIDE'' (Graphical User Interface for a Data Environment) is an interactive IDL widget-based package that enables users to retrieve selected sets of satellite instrument data and perform various types of graphical analyses on them, without writing a specialized program. GUIDE simplifies the task of laying out multiple plots on a page by (1) using a page-editor to define and laying out multiple ``panels'' which contain the ``plot objects'', and (2) integrating data retrieval functions. ...

... Driver ID: LOCAL . This is a hack to allow a machine to use its own system clock as a reference clock, i.e., to free-run using no outside clock discipline source. ... Another application for this driver is if a particular server clock is to be used as the clock of last resort when all other normal synchronization sources have gone away. ... This driver provides a mechanism to trim the local clock in both time and frequency, as well as a way to manipulate the leap bits. ... Not used by this driver. ...
