INT Information

General INT Help

• lpss14 is now the data reduction system, replacing lpss10. The machine is a sparc20. Data disks are crossmounted with lpss12 and the data directories are in the same place. Log in as intguest (password on the console). Note that you CANNOT run the observing system from lpss14.
• There is now a Black Folder in the INT control room containing all you need to know on running the Data Acquisition System (DAS) and Cassegrain Instrument Control System (ICS). This includes the DAS, IDS ICS and Cassegrain A+G manuals and related updates, information on the TEK CCD and a beginners guide to IRAF.
• The INT DAS is now in use with Instructions or a Postscript copy
• Instructions for how to write your data to a DAT tape from the observing Solaris worskstation (lpss12).
• Instructions on how to revert to the PE ICS observing system.
• Instructions for how to use the IDS ICS from the observing Solaris worskstation (lpss12).
• Instructions for using IRAF to look at your data from the reduction Solaris worskstation (lpss14).
