Observation Planning Tools

AzTEC Map Simulator v1.0 - Posted 03/22/05

• Observation planning tool that produces coverage maps and calculates other pertinent info
• Currently restricted to raster scanning AZ/EL observations. Check back for updates as other coordinate systems (ie RA/DEC) and observing modes (jiggle mapping) are added to the software in the undefined future.
• Very handy for planning efficient raster observations and understanding the kind of maps your observation strategy will produce.
• Preview the software's manual, AzTEC Mapsim Manual (PDF)
• Written in IDL. Program can only be run in IDL or IDL VM 6.0 and above
• The program is compiled as an IDL '.sav' file, therefore it can be run in the Freely Available IDL Virtual Machine (IDL -VM) environment (Free download available at: www.rsinc.com)
• Report any bugs/suggestions to: austermann@astro.umass.edu
