... 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. ...
