Getting Started
CLASS is the software package we use to reduce the survey data. We
use the FCRAO language within CLASS. To start it, simply type fcrao.
The help is surprisingly nice in CLASS. You should use it.
Macros
A macro is an outside program run by CLASS. You would type:
Where "@" means run a macro, "m:" is the path or directory where the
macro is, and macro is the name of the file, typically
macro.fcrao. I have written a few useful macros for this project.
They are described on the data reduction
page:
| def | Load CLASS defaults |
| concatnew | Make a new file putting together two
datasets |
| concat | Concatenate a new dataset with an existing
concatenated dataset |
| umigs | Coadd the data |
| pix | set the pixel to find |
Other random useful commands:
file in/out/both (new)
find, find/scan
get first/next/scan
plot, spectrum
base, base/plot
map
set mode y y1 y2 (syy)
set mode x x1 x2 (sxx)
set window v1 v2
