There are several other documents relevant to the MIDAS system.
General descriptions of the system can be found in the following
references:
- Banse, K., Crane, P. Ounnas, C., Ponz, D., 1983 : `MIDAS' in
Proc. of DECUS, Zurich, p.87
- Grosbøl, P., Ponz, D. , 1985 : `The MIDAS Table File System',
Mem.S.A.It. 56, p.429
- Banse, K., Grosbøl, P., Ponz, D., Ounnas, C., Warmels, R., `The
MIDAS Image Processing System in Instrumentation for Ground Based
Astronomy: Present and Future, L.B. Robinson, ed., New York, Springer
Verlag, p.431
For general bibliographic reference to the MIDAS system (VAX/VMS
version), the first reference in the above list should be used.
Detailed technical information of software interfaces and designs used
in MIDAS is given in the following documentation:
- MIDAS Environment
- MIDAS IDI--routines
- AGL Reference Manual
Users who want to write their own application programs for MIDAS
should read the MIDAS Environment document which gives the relevant
information and examples.
For users who have to work with both the IHAP and MIDAS systems a
cross--reference document has been made for the most commonly used
commands:
- MIDAS-IHAP/IHAP-MIDAS Cross-Reference
The above documents can be obtained by contacting the User Support Group
( e.g. via the HOT-LINE).
