... This edition of the HST Data Handbook is organized as two volumes: Volume I provides general information on retreiving and reducing HST data and includes the more specific information needed to analyze data from the instruments currently onboard the spacecraft (FOC, FGS, NICMOS, STIS, and WFPC2). ... Part 1 of Volume 1 leads observers through the following three-step process, applicable to HST data files from any instrument: . ... These parts are described in the Volume I Preface. ...

... Computerised Instrument Control and Data Acquisition (CICADA) is a software system for control of telescope instruments in a distributed computing environment. ... Computerised Instrument Control and Data Acquisition (CICADA) is a software system developed to provide access to, control of, and retrieval of data from, instruments mounted on observatory telescopes. ... Each instrument class generates its own request data structures using its own generate_req method, which is called by the control...

... The SF does not contain all the information required to process the ODF with the SAS. odfingest extends the SF with data extracted from the instrument housekeeping data files and the calibration database. It creates a new summary file: the SAS ODF Summary File (SOSF). ... The user need not have write access to the ODF directory. odfingest uses the parameter outdir to learn where to write the SOSF. ... Alternatively, the name of the SOSF can be passed to odfingest with the parameter summaryfile . ...

Feb 06, 2007: Cal07 Posters available . ... Now in 2006, after seven years of science operation with the innovative, complex, and still growing instrumentation suite at the VLT, it is timely to review the achievements and limitations of the established instrument calibration plans together with the ESO user community. ...

... There are compelling reasons for the pulsar community to utilise a standard data storage format. For example, standardisation of file formats significantly decreases the amount of effort required to integrate new instruments into the analysis chain. ... Accordingly, we have defined PSRFITS as a standard FITS-based format for pulsar data files. ... For example, the first line of Processing History HDU contains information about the data acquisition program and the initial structure of the file. ...

... Several of the tasks in the spectral package share a common set of parameters. ... Each task in the spectral package has a hidden parameter which points to the pkgpars parameter file. The parameters stored here include the observed data sets and the model descriptor, and instrument-specific parameters. ... The observed counts and error data set contained in the table file ( *_obs.tab ) produced by qpspec will be the input data for subsequent spectral tasks. ...

The problem of solar wind data correlation for the observations onboard several spacecraft is very important for three points of view: . ... This problem is studied now in detail by systematic determination of ion flux and ion velocity data correlations by INTERBALL-1 (IKI group), WIND and IMP 8 (both - MIT group). ... Solar wind plasma correlation lengths from IMP 8, WIND and INTERBALL-1. ... Correlation of solar wind observations onboard several spacecraft: INTERBALL-1, IMP 8 and WIND data. ...

... Meade Instruments Corporation . ... Section 3: File Menu . ... Displays the dialog to open an existing image: . ... Saves the current image as a new file name or new file type, or both. ... This can be useful to prevent having 20 or more images open at once, and saves having to close them manually. ... This is done by creating a text file with the same name as the image file. ... Note that Image Information is saved within the FITS file, so there will not be a text file to accompany these files. ...

... This chapter describes the PEPSYS package for general photometric reductions. The function of photometric reductions is to measure and remove, so far as possible, the instrumental signature from the data. ... The package contains two main parts: a planning program and a reduction program. The planning program interacts with the user to find out the goals of the observing program, and then produces a schedule of the observations needed to meet those goals efficiently. ...
