Request returned by Peter Moore in response to survey Jan 1997

Peter Moore - electronics: detectors
1 IDL = Interactive Display Language for Solaris As part of proposed detector group responsibilities , CCD characterisation + optimization would benefit from power available for image analysis via IDC. Would provide a basis for automating and standardising these functions.
2 short course on unix solaris - for medium power users ie pipes, diagnostics, procedures, RPC etc. to better use the power of the systems available could only increase our effectiveness.
3 fault database available for archival search, reaching back for 2 years etc. Faults seem to fall of the end in time - cannot do analysis on long-term data - could be my lack of knowledge of the system though!
4 network management software SNMP eg netview warn of problems in adavance. Monitor and improve uptime/performance. to a fax machine.
5 bulk storage capacity media eg DLT, terrabyte something to do 40 Gb backupo without constant tape changes. to most offices in the INT.
