TFOSC: Drawing and More info....... DEFPOS: click here and here....... PM TUBES: Hamamatsu_PMT Example Software:

• ...........GENERAL:..........
• SAOImage DS9: Use ds9 to start.
• Aladin: Use Aladin to start. CNRS (Virtual Observatory)
• MIDAS: Use inmidas to start, gomidas to resume. helpmidas for help. Or get Vol1 and Vol2.
  Use set/midas workenv=fits in MIDAS to work with fits files
• IDL Use idl to start.
• IRAF: Use mkiraf initially (only first time). Use ecl on logins later.
• FTOOLS: Use fhelp ftools or fhelp xxx to see tasks (exp: fhelp swift).
  General routines to handle fits files and missions.
  Also xspec, ximage, xronos for spectra, image and timing.
• TIMING: Use period04 (Get Tutorials) for help
  or tools in MIDAS (Context TSA) and/or FTOOLS (XRONOS)
• ...........MISSIONS..........
• XMM: Use sas_setup and later SAS to start.
• CHANDRA: Use ciao to start. Try prism, peg .. or ahelp -c tools to see the tools.
• INTEGRAL: Use osa isdc to analyze. (on astrob)
  First "export REP_BASE_PROD=..." and later
  source shell " . $ISDC_ENV/bin/isdc_init_env.sh" in bash.
• ROSAT: Use EXSAS to analyze.
  Steps: "source /home/midas/exsas/03OCT_EXP/EXSAS.bash" & "exsas"
  In Midas prompt: "set/midas commands=400,1000" & "set/contex exsas"
