SUBJECT: lOS SOHWARE
lOS Con t ro I :
The special files wlth a sweep pattern (type 104) now have thc startX of the plcture, whlch was dlsplayed whcn maklng XSWSET, stored Inthelr dlrectorles. When a sweep file Is loaded wlth XSWLOAO then thestart X of the special file Is used and not anymore the one set byXSWC,SX. The offset s t I l l Is and always was connected to the spec Ia lfile. So, If an old sweep pattern is restored from disc then thesweeps are correctly set.
However the start X can stili be changed at the last moment by dolngXSWLOAO, H, "new X s tar t ", Where "ncw X start" wi 1I override the Xstored In t he dlrectory. (Stili to be te s t ed)
Thls could be considered as a ~Ind of software gratlng angle adjustment~ Änew command has been made XSWPlAYBACK, # whlch wll I plot Ina plcture the positions of the sweep points stored In special file H.
Magnetlc tape:
The placlng of end of file marks has been lmproved to assure that nodata Is lost In case of a crash. The tape Is always closed by 2 endof fl1e marks.
Spaclng to the end of the files, so as to add more can be done wlthF/F, END. All files from tape to disc can now be done by MRESTORE.ALLj all files from dlsc (lncludlng # 1) Is done by MSAVE, ALl.
NOTE: These new file handling commands should not be used wlth tapeswrltten before 5 Oecember 1978.
The problem of "flrst file cannot be read" Is because arewind eltherby programme or manually was made between an XSTART and an X[ND. Sodo not do this; rewlnd Immediately after an XEND, or before RU, lOS.
The followlng magnetlc tape movements are done durlng data acqulsltlon:

Normalfzed data:
2.-
Magnetfc tape
Dlrectory (48 scan llnes), comments, 2 EOF,baekspace 2 EOF.
2 scan 1fnes, 2 fnfoblocks 2 EOF, backspace2 EOF.
6 scan I fnes (SI-SG), 6 Infoblocks, Dlrectory(real # scan lfnes), eomrnents, 2 EOF, baekspace1 EOF.
All data read from the lOS hardware Is now fmmedlately normal fzed.Normallzed counts are deflned here as:
Counts (norm) • Counts (read)/nsweeps X 10000.
The advantages of normalfzed counts are that the counts are dlrectlyrelated to fntensfty. Moreover the ratfo of sweeps can be calculatedby a single dlvfslon.
The constant 10000 was chosen so that a normallzed count of 1 Is glvenfor the darkcurrent of a cooled tube.
The commands "SARITHMETIC" andllSDARITHMETIC" calculate on normallzedcounts and gfve the answers normallzed, If posslble. Posslble Is:when both source scans for the arlthmetlc are normal Ized and when theoperator fs add or subtract.
In all other cases non normalfzed arlthmetfc fs automatfeally done.Note that "PFUNCTlON" and "PLlNE" do not do normal fzed arlthmetlc.Remember that normalized subtractfon can be done to remove the countsof an obJect from the total of an other obJect, e.g. subtract 521 from51. But not to subtract sky from star + sky. Here non normal Izedsubtractfon should be done.
Oata acqulred before 5 December 1978 should be normal fzed before usfngit wlth the present system. Use the convnand "I055DEC, N" whlch willmodffy I to normallzed counts. However the relation betwe~~ SI through54 and the separate scans cannot be remade. The best Is to--readd theseans uslng "SDIADD" and "SD3ADD", to be explalned later.
Informatfon blocks:
A data block Is connected to each scan line. Thfs has always been theease,. altho~gh not known to most users.
• . 1/
3.-
It Is In' these blocks that InformatIon on the normal Izatlon Is held.The user can dIsplay the contents of these blocks by "INFO, 11, SIl.Only the system may modlfy the contents.
Normallzed measurement data slow the Intenslty of the measured object,not the measurement accuracy. That Information can be read In theInfoblock from the number of sweeps. The lOS does about 15 sweeps persecond durlng double scans.
Flat flelds:
As any 105 user knows, the detector response Is hlghly Irregular. Therefore all data should be cor~ected for flat fleld before belng dlsplayedand certalnly before belng used to extract InformatIon from.
Some modlflcatlons have,been made In the system to make flat correcteddIsplays easy to get.
Scan a continuum souree long enough for good statlstles. XENO. Usethe eommand FLAT, N. S to poInt to an uncven scan line number. Theaddress of the next (even) scan llne wIll be remembered by the system.The two flat flelds are now deflned. At any time the command FTRACE,K. S can be used, the system will eorreet the transverse For flat fleldwith the appropriate correctlon (If S uneven first flat, If S even second flat).
The most powerfull flat eommand Is "FTTR. pli whleh wIll subtract allflat corrected sky measurements from all flat eorreeted star measurements, and display the result In a transverse.
The system takes specIal action when no fl ip has been done to avoldzero divIsIon problems.
It Is recommended to use "FTTR" as the normal dIsplay command durfngthe observatIons. Remember however that the sharpness of the displaypicture 15 only as good as the alignement of the sweeps done wlth"XSWOFFSET".
The command "STTR" is stIll In the system, but Is now of llttlc Interest.
S5 and s6 are serateh:
Sean Iines 5 and 6 are used by the system for temporary storage of data.The user mayaIso use these scans when doing ehalned ealculations. However ,these scans are not supported by the system, thelr contents may bechanged in ·future versions of the software.

Step by step data reduction:
a. Your measurement file Is either correct or not. A correct fileis where only one object was measured with the star sI it A addedIn 51, sky sllt A In 52, sky slit Bin 53 and star slit ß In Sil.If this Is the case 90 to d.
b. If your file is not correct, the reason could be that you dld notflip. If you measured different sources on the same file (forgotXENO, 90 to c.
Find out with "TRANSVERSE" and IINFO" whlch double scans weremeasured wlth star In A and whlch wlth star In 6. Then add 811double scans wlth s t ar in A wlth the "S01AOO, H, S(A), S(B).S(C) •••• "command. 00 the same with the double scans star in B using"503ADO, 11. S(A), S(B). S(C) ••••• ". Go to d ,
c , You have dl fferent sources added In 51 through Sil. I f there Isonly one double scan wrong, e.g. HEAR as last double 5can you canremove It by subtracting It out from the add scans with IISDARITHHETIC". If the f I l e Is more mixed up than that, do "S01ADOII and
"SD3ADD" on one source, then IICOpyll thls file, take the next source,"COpYI, etc.
d , You now have correct added scans in S1 through Sil. I f you have da t aonly In 51 and 52 90 to e.
Now use the "SNORHALI ZE" command wh Ieh wi 11 produce a new f 11 e wl thtwo scan llnes: 51(new)· 51-53 and S2(new) • Sil-S2. Go to f.
e. Your data is not flipped, simply use the "TRUNCATEII command to makea new file with two scan Iines. (TRUNCATE, H, Sl, 52).
f. 00 thls wlth al I the measurement files, Including HEAR and continuum.Thls Is then a good moment to dump all these 2 scan Ilne files on afresh tape.
g. 00 wavelength cal Ibratlons for the two sllts, thls glves two specialfiles. One file for all uneven scan I ines, the other for even scanI Ines.
h. Correct al I measurement files for flat fleld by dlvldlng:
50ARITH, U(obJ), 51. #(Flat), 51./, #(obj), 51
NOTE: From here on different methods could be u5ed.
I. 00 WFUNCTION on the two scan llnes of eaeh file wlth the approprlatespecial file. using the same start lambda In both cases. Thls givestwo single scan files. Add these together wlth PFUNCTION. U(A).II(ß), + I fit was a fl ipped fi le, otherwise subtracL In both casesyou have a single scan of the measured object to a linear wavelengthscale.

SUBJECT: Status report: IDS 1979 Feb
I A second Image nissector Tube was sent to Chile in Dec. 78.According to the specifications of 1TT it should have allowed ahigher resolution. However. the tube could not be installed due toan inclination of the front window by about 1.5 degrees.
11 The old Image Dissector Tube was put back.Due to improvements in the contact at the entrance and exit windowsof the image tubes the flat-field is now much smoother than before.The resolution also improved slightly.
111 Performance of the IDS
a) Photometrie stability:
± 1%. eomparing flat field observations taken at beginning and endof night.
b) Wavelength stability:
Norma11y: (eonstant eooling)<± 1 pixel over several hours and different positions at sky.Shifts up to 6 pixels possib1e, when eooling is not kept constant.
e) Resolution
At best 5.5 pixels FWHMTypiea1 value: 6 to 7 pixels for unblended He Ar lines.~
d) Eaeh deteeted photon is counted about 3.3 times.
e) Sensitivity of IDS system:
-1 -11 eount A sec observed through 6"x6 11 aperture for a star of16 mag.
-1 -11 count A sec observed through 1~4 slit (200~) and seeing 2~5
for a star of 15 mag.

IV Attached are for your information copies of:
a) General remarks about the lOS system (H. Pedersen, C. Perrier.G.F.O. Schnur)
b) Use of lOS (C. Perrier, G. Schnur)
c) Scatter measurements (H. Pedersen)
d) Synoptic charts for users of lOS (C. Perrier, G. Schnur)
e) Tables of decker sizes and positions and of slit widths.
V Information about available gratings will appear in next ESOMessenger.
VI Comments concerning the users manual are very welcome for the finalversion of the users manual.
VII Problems still to be solved!
The cooling, using dry ice, has to be refilled every few hours, isnot sufficiently constant.This causes shifts of focus, shift of the whole spectrum ~n
direction of dispersion, etc.
We are looking into this problem and plan to improve this ~n thenext months.
Until then we can only recommend to control the cooling every fewhours (2-~) to ensure a stable IDS system.
A remote controlled variable neutral density filter will be insertedinto the comparison sources light path during March.' This will allowan adjustment of the level of illumination in order to avoidremnant light.
A.-GENERAL REMARKS ABOUT THE lOS-SYSTEM
1. COOLING
Oue to the eooling to about -40 0 inside the lOS housing, eooling
from ambient to operating temperature takes 24 hours till an
equilibrium stage is reaehed!
As a eonsequenee of the present eooling system, not only is the
IDS eooled down but also the surrounding parts of the speetrograph,
ineluding the Bowen-Sehmidt Camera and the grating.
2. CHANGE üF GRATINGS
This means that a change of gratings eannot take plaee just a few
hours before observation, beeause it will take several hours to
reaeh stability of foeus and intensity. Gratings must be ehanged
early in the morning for the following night!
3. PREPARATlüNS FüR üBSERVING WITH THE lOS
There are several preparatory steps to be taken before one can
start observing with the lOS:
1 - the sweep pattern has to be set,
2 - flat field has to be observed (-tungsten sour ce)
3 - accurate wavelength calibration observations have to be
made for later reduction.
All of this should be done several hours before the start of
the observations, to avoid problems with remnant light.
If you stay with one grating throughout all your nights, you
might only have to control the sweep pattern, or your introducing
staff astronomer might inform you that you can stay with that one
sweep pattern throughout all your nights (but this is one of the
features that still has to be carefully tested by us!)
4. lOS MAG TAPE SERVICE
There are five magnetic tapes available for the lOS for normal
observations, labelled 1 to 5. They should be used correspondingly
during your nights: Tape 1 for your first night, tape 2 for your
- 2 -
second, etc.
After you. have finished observing each morning, remove the mag
tape from the mag tape unit, remove the "Write Ring" and put the
mag tape back into the mag tape unit. In the morning our software
department will copy all your data onto two large common tapes:
one of which will contain ALL the final data obtained during your
run, and which you will take horne for further reduction; the other
tape which will also contain all your data will be kept by ESO for
a certain per iod of time (~6 months) for security reasons. After
that time they will be erased and over-written~
5. RTE ANO lOS ATTENTION MARKS
You can immediately see whether you are ~n the lOS program or ~n the
RTE system:
when at the beginning of the line at the control console you
get:
* 'star' you are in the RTE system program
- 'slash' you are in the lOS program.
As long as a subroutine of the lOS is going on, the slash will
not appear. After executing the subroutine a 'beep' will sound
and the slash will appear telling you that you can enter your next
IDS command.
BE PATIENT, some routines take some time to be executed and
hitting a key on the control console while the system is active will
result in an error-message. Hit RETURN and let the routine be
completed.
6. SOFT KEYS
(See IDS soft key directory synoptic chart)
The IDS s~broutines that are most often used are addressed
through the use of the preprogrammed, so-called SOFT KEYS which
are displayed on top of the control display.
Instead of having to remember all the 4 letter commands for the
controls and subroutines of the IDS the commands most often used
are displayed in groups of 8, called MENUS.
- 3 -
The general structure of these SOFT KEY MENUS are the
following:
1 I . 2 3 4
5 6 7 MENU
The general Menu (Level 1) contains the director.y to go to
sets of commands like: MEASURING
IDENTIFIERS (includes SWEEP SETTING)
LAMBDA CALIBRATIONS
Thus each of these Menus contains the commands that are necessary
to control the IDS hardware or to give access to software routines.
For example the MEASURING includes:
START INTEGRATION STOP INTEGRATION FLIP OBJECT END OBJECT
TRANSVERSE OVERTRACE STTR MENU
In each of these second level menus the lower right hand button
is called MENU; if pressed it leads back to the general MENU:
By pushing a soft key the 4 letter abbreviation that corresponds
to this soft key 15 displayed and printed on the log printer.
This allows the user to identify the command, and, by using
this 4 letter abbreviation, to find more information in the IDS
Manual (F. MIDDELBURG), where all of these commands are described.
This can also be done by using the HELP command.
All measuring data are saved automatically on mag tape.
7. DATA SAVING ON DISC
5ince it can happen that the system breaks down by giving
wrong commands, we advise you to save important information on the
disc, as soon as it is generated. This will allow.you to restart
- 4 -
the whole system within less than two minutes.
The command for saving data on the disc is:
DSAVE, f, Name
(Further information in IDS manual: 053 DSAVE)
To recall the information use:
DRESTORE, NAME
(Command 054 DRESTORE).
If you have serious troubles during the night and cannot get
anything going, refer to the troubleshooting flow-chart.
When nothing responds get the RTE attention mark: * and type:
OF, IDS, 1
After that: * RU, lOS
Reload from disk: Sweep pattern file
Wavelength calibration file
Flat field observation file
Do XSWL, # with the file number that has been communicated by
restoring the sweep pattern and you can continue your measurements.
So, you should never lose more than 5 minutes, even in the
worst breakdown, except if there is a complete power failure or
there are hardware problems.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING
In most cases when you have been doing something wrong, particularly
hitting a key on the control console while the graphics device was
still active, wait for the automatie time out, whieh will give you
the control back after about 1 minute.
If the control system does not accept any command do the
following:
hit RESET twice in quick succession
terminal will read: TERMINAL READY
type in: SOFT, = SOFT 0
general soft key Menu will appear; continue as normal.
Other errors should be corrected according to the trouble
shooting flow-chart.

1. FLAT FIELD AND HEAR CALIBRATIONS
We advise THAT IN TUE AFTERNOON YOU DO:
- possibly your sweep setting; store it on disc
- a flat field observation: store it on disc
- a HEAR exposure; store it on disc
the calibration in wavelength with He Ar lines by uSlng the
LAMBDA CALIBRATION proeedures for both sean lines; store them
on disco
Start your observations at least one hour before dusk!
- make a 5 minute HEAR observation
- make a 10 minute flat field observation.
After eaeh star, make a short HeAr exposure (30 seconds) before
the telescope will be moved by more than 15 degrees to the next
object, as you would do with anormal eomparison exposure on a
photographie plate.
At the end of the night repeat:
- a 5 minute HeAr exposure
- a flat field exposure of 10 minutes or more.
2. IDENTIFIERS, COMMENTS, etc.
The IDENTIFIERS Menu contains possibilities for transferring
information to the individual file or to all files.
IDENTIFIER: It allows you to transfer the name of your objeet into
its corresponding file (manual: see 111 IDEN).
Example: IDEN, NGC 1979.
ECOORDINATES: Does the same for equatorial coordinates (manual:
see 110 ECOO). Example: ECOO, 12,00,00,-60,00,00.
COMMENTS: Allows you to set astring of comments to your file
(manual: see 128 COMM.). For example: COMM, AIRMASS 1.21.
CAPTION: Will allow you to set additional information to each of your
files be10w, beside and above displayed images (manual: see 061
CAPT). Use for instance to set the date: CAPT, PI, 1979 Feb 10.
We strongly advise you to make the most use of these possibi1ities,
- 6 -
as they will later make reductions much easier.
Previously entered identifiers can easily be recalled with the
comm~nd DLIS, ALL or DLIS, #
3. INTEGRATION TIME
Default for integration time is 10 minutes. This can be changed
by: XINT, MIN, SEC to any time up to 35 minutes.
If you wish to use another integration time but only for one
integration, then do not use START INTEGRATION soft key but type
in cpmmand:
XSTA~T, MIN, SEC with a maximum time of 30 minutes.
4. ENDI~G YOUR OBSERVATIONS
Entering TERM twice kills all your files on the disco So, in your
own interest, please leave the system running when leaving the
telescape in the morning. This will ensure that we can copy your
data files from the disc to your master tape in case samething has
gone wrong.

You may now start your IDS tests or observations.
4.- GRATING SELECTION
(See also General Remarks)
Grating changes are done by the ESO opticians. Setting of
grating angle must be done after focussing and sweep setting.
It can be changed by the V.A. It might be necessary to repeat
- 3 -
both afterwards.
Selection ~f different spectral orders can be done using the
two filters:
RED GG 495 (3mm)
BLUE BG 38 (3mm)
which are placed opposite the grating side.
Make sure that filters not in use are pulled fully out.
5- SWEEP SETTING
Use "SWEEP SETTING" synoptic ehart,

The problem of "flrst file cannot be read" i s because arewind eltherby programme or manually was made between an XSTART and an XENO. Sodo not do this; rewind immediately after an XENO, or before RU, lOS.

All data read from the lOS hardware Is now Immedlately normal Ized.Normallzed counts are deflned here as:
Counts (norm) • Counts (read)/nsweeps X 10000.
The advantages of normallzed counts are that the counts are dlrectlyrelated to Intenslty. Moreover the ratio of sweeps can be calculatedby a sIngle division.
The constant 10000 was chosen so that a normallzed count of 1 Is glvenfor the darkcurrent of a cooled tube.
The commands "SARITHMETIC" andllSDARITHMETlC" calculate on normallzedcounts and glve the answers normallzed, If poss Ib le , Posslble Is:when both source scans for the arlthmetlc are normal Ized and when theoperator Is add or subtract.
In all other cases non normal Ized arlthmetlc Is automatically done.Note that IlPFUNCTlON" and "PLINE" do not do normallzed arfthmetlc.Remember that normallzed subtractlon can be done to remove the countsof an object from the total of an other obJect, e.g. subtract 521 from51. But not to subtract sky from star + sky. Here non normal Izedsubtractlon should be done.
Data acqulred before 5 Oecember 1978 should be normal Ized before uslngi t wlth the present system. Use the comrnand 1II0550EC, 11" whlch willmodlfy # to normallzed counts. However the relation between 51 through54 and the separate scans cannot be remade. The best 15 to readd thescans uslng IISD1ADD" and "SD3AOD 11

Normallzed measurement data slow the intenslty of the measurcd object,not the measurement accuracy. That Information can be read in theInfoblock from the number of sweeps. The lOS does about 15 sweeps persecond durlng double scans.
Flat flelds:
As any lOS user knows, the detector response Is hlghly Irregular. Therefore all data should be cor~ected for flat fleld before belng displayedand certalnly before belng used to extract Information from.
Some modlflcatlons have.been made In the system to make flat correcteddisplays easy to get.
Scan a continuum source long enough for good statlstlcs. XEND. Usethe command FLAT, H, S to point to an uneven scan line number. Theaddress of the next (even) sean llne will be remembered by the system.The two flat flelds are now deflned. At any time the command FTRACE,H, S can be used, the system wIll correct the transverse for flat fleldwith the approprlate correetlon (If S uneven first flat, If S even second flat).
The most powerfull flat command Is "FTTR, HI I whlch will subtract allflat corrected sky measurements from all flat corrected star measurements, and display the result In a transverse.
The system takes special action when no fl ip has been done to avoldzero division problems.
I t Is recoemended to use "F'TTR" as the norma 1 d I sp I ay command dur! n9the observations. Remember however that the sharpness of the displayplcture Is only as good as the alignement of the sweeps done wlthIIXSWOFFSET".

SUBJECT: Status report: IDS 1979 Feb
I A seeond Image Dissector Tube was sent to Chile in Dee. 78.Aeeording to the speeifieations of ITT it shou1d have a110wed ahigher resolution. However. the tube eou1d not be insta11ed due toan ine1ination of the front window by about 1.5 degrees.
11 The old Image Dissector Tube was put back.Due to improvements in the eontaet at the entranee and exit windowsof the image tubes the flat-field is now mueh smoother than before.The resolution also improved slightly.
II! Performance of the IDS
a) Photometrie stability:
± 17., eomparing flat fie1d observations taken at beginning and endof night.
b) Wave1ength stabi1ity:
Normally: (eonstant eooling)<± 1 pixel over severa1 hours and different positions at sky.Shifts up to 6 pixels possib1e, when eoo1ing is not kept eonstant.
c) Resolution
At best 5.5 pixels FWHMTypieal value: 6 to 7 pixels for unblended He Ar lines.
d) Eaeh detected photon is eounted about 3.3 times.
e) Sensitivity of IDS system:
-1 -11 count A sec observed through 6 11x6 11 aperture for a star of16 mag.
-1 -11 count A sec observed through 1~4 slit (200~) and seeing 2~5
for a star of 15 mag.
- 2 -
IV Attached are for your information copies of:
a) General re~arks about the IDS system (H. Pedersen, C. Perrier,G.F.O. Schnur)
b) Use of IDS (C. Perrier, G. Schnur)
e) Scatter measurements (H. Pedersen)
d) Synoptie charts for users of IDS (C. Perrier, G. Schnur)
e) Tables of decker sizes and positions and of slit widths.
V Information about available gratings will appear in next ESOMessenger.
VI Comments concerning the users manual are very welcome far the finalversion of thc users manual.
VII Problems still to be solved!
The eooling, using dry ice, has to be refilled every few haurs, 1Snot sufficiently constant.This eauses shifts of focus, shift of the whole spectrum 1ndirection of dispersion, etc.
We are looking into this problem and plan to improve this 1n thenext months.
Until then we can only recommend to control the cooling every fewhours (2-3) to ensure a stable IDS system.
A remote eontrolled variable neutral density filter will be insertedinto the comparison sources light path during March. This will allowan adjustment of the level of illumination in order to avoidremnant light.
A.-GENERAL REMARKS ABOUT THE IDS-SYSTEM
1. COOLING
Due to the cooling to about -40 0 inside the IDS housing, cooling
from ambient to operating temperature takes 24 hours till an
equilibrium stage is reached!
As a consequenee of the present eooling system, not only ~s the
IDS eooled down but also the surrounding parts of the speetrograph,
ineluding the Bowen-Sehmidt Camera and the grating.
2. CHANGE OF GRATINGS
This means that a change of gratings cannot take place just a fewh,
hours before observation, because it will take several hours to
reaeh stability of focus and intensity. Gratings must be ehanged
early in the morning for the following night:
3. PREPARATIONS FOR OBSERVING WITH THE IDS
There are several preparatory steps to be taken before one can
start observing with the IDS:
1 - the sweep pattern has to be set,
2 - flat field has to be observed (-tungsten souree)
3 - aeeurate wavelength ealibration observations have to be
made for later reduetion.
All of this should be done several hours before the start of
the observations, to avoid problems with remnant light.
If you stay with one grating throughout all your nights, you
might only have to control the sweep pattern, or your introducing
staff astronomer might inform you that you ean stay with that one
sweep pattern throughout all your nights (but this is one of the
features that still has to be earefully tested by us!)
4. IDS MAG TAPE SERVICE
There are five magnetie tapes available for the IDS for normal
observations, labelled 1 to 5. They should be used eorrespondingly
during your nights: Tape 1 for your first night, tape 2 for your
- 2 -
second, etc.
After y o u. have finished observing e a c h morning, remove the mag
tape from the mag tape unit, remove the "Write Ring" and put the
mag tape back into the mag tape unit. In the morning our software
department will copy all your data onto two large common tapes:
one of which will contain ALL the final data obtained during your
run, and which you will take horne for further reduction; the other
tape which will also contain all your data will be kept by ESO for
a certain period of time (~6 months) for security reasons. After
that time they will be erased and over-written!
5. RTE AND IDS ATTENTION MARKS
You can immediately see whether you are ~n the IDS program or in the
RTE system:
when at the beginning of the line at the control console you
get:
* 'star' you are in the RTE system program
- 'slash' you are in the IDS program.
As long as a subroutine of the IDS ~s going on, the slash will
not appear. After executing the subroutine a 'beep' will sound
and the slash will appear telling you that you can enter your next
IDS command.
BE PATIENT, some routines take some time to be executed and
hitting a key on the control console while the system is active will
result in an error-message. Hit RETURN and l~t the routine be
completed.
6. SOFT KEYS
(See IDS soft key directory synoptic chart) ~
The IDS subroutines that are most often used are addressed
through the use of the preprogrammed, so-called SOFT KEYS which
are displayed on top of the control display.
Instead of having to remember all the 4 letter commands for the
controls and subroutines of the IDS the commands most often used
are displayed in groups of 8, called MENUS.
- 3 -
The general structure of these SOFT KEY MENUS are the
following:
1 I . 2 3 4
I
5 6 7 MENU
The general Menu (Level 1) contains the directory to go to
sets of commands like: MEASURING
IDENTIFIERS (includes SWEEP SETTING)
LAMBDA CALIBRATIONS
Thus each of these Menus contains the commands that are necessary.>-,
to control the IDS hardware or to give access to software routines.
For example the MEASURING includes:
START INTEGRATION STOP INTEGRATION FLIP OBJECT END OBJECT
TRANSVERSE OVERTRACE STTR MENU
In each of these second level menus the lower right hand button
is called MENU; if pressed it leads back to the general MENU!
By pushing a soft key the 4 letter abbreviation that corresponds
to this soft key is displayed and printed on the log printer.
This allows the user to identify the command, and, by using
this 4 letter abbreviation, to find more information in the IDS
Manual (F. MIDDELBURG), where all of these commands are described.
This can also be done by using the HELP command.
All measuring data are saved automatically on mag tape.
7. DATA SAVING ON DISC
5ince it can happen that the system breaks down by g1v1ng
wrong commands, we advise you to save important information on the
disc, as soon as it is generated. This will allow.you to restart
- 4 -
the whole system within less than two minutes.
The command for saving data on the disc is:
DSAVE, f, Name
(Further information Ln IDS manual: 053 DSAVE)
To recall the information use:
DRESTORE, NAME
(Command 054 DRESTORE).
If you have serious troubles during the night and cannot get
anything gOLng, refer to the troubleshooting flow-chart.
When nothing res ponds get the RTE attention mark: * and type:
OF, IDS, 1
After that: * RU, IDS
Reload from disk: Sweep pattern file
Wavelength calibration file
Flat field observation file
Do XSWL, # with the file number that has been communicated by
restoring the sweep pattern and you can continue your measurements.
So, you should never lose more than 5 minutes, even in the
worst breakdown, except if there is a complete power failure or
there are hardware problems.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING
In most cases when you have been doing something wrong, particularly
hitting a key on the control console while the graphics device was
still active, wait for the automatie time out, which will give you
the control back after about I minute.
If the control system does not accept any command do the
following:
hit RESET twice in quick succession
terminal will read: TERMINAL READY
type in: SOFT, = SOFT 0general soft key Menu will appear; continue as normal.
Other errors should be corrected according to the trouble
shooting flow-chart.
ß.-
- 5 -
1. FLAT FIELD AND HEAR CALIBRATIONS
We advise THAT IN THE AFTERNOON YOU DO:
- possib1y your sweep setting; store it on disc
- a f1at fie1d observation: store it on disc
- a HEAR exposure; store it on disc
the ca1ibration in wave1ength with He Ar 1ines by uS1ng the
LAMBDA CALIBRATION procedures for both scan 1ines; store them
on disco
Start your observations at least one hour before dusk:
- make a 5 minute HEAR observation
- make a 10 minute flat fie1d observation.
After each star, make a short HeAr exposure (30 seconds) before
the telescope will be moved by more than 15 degrees to the next
object, as you wou1d do with anormal comparison exposure on a
photographie plate.
At the end of the night repeat:
- a 5 minute HeAr exposure
- a flat field exposure of 10 minutes or more.
2. IDENTIFIERS, COMMENTS, etc.
The IDENTIFIERS Menu contains possibilities for transferring
information to the individual file or to all files.
IDENTIFIER: It a110ws you to transfer the name of your object into
its corresponding file (manual: see 111 IDEN).
Examp1e: IDEN, NGC 1979.
ECOORDINATES: Does the same for equatoria1 coordinates (manual:
see 110 ECOO). Examp1e: ECOO, 12,00,00,-60,00,00.
COMMENTS: A110ws you to set astring of comments to your file
(manual: see 128 COMM.). For examp1e: COMM, AIRMASS 1.21.
CAPTION: Will a110w you to set additional information to each of your
files be10w, beside and above disp1ayed images (manual: see 061
CAPT). Use for instance to set the date: CAPT, PI, 1979 Feb 10.
We strong1y advise you to make the most use of these possibilities,
- 6 -
as they will later make reductions much easier.
Prevtously entered identifiers can easily he recalled with the
comm~nd DLI8, ALL or DLI8, #
3. INTE9RATION TIME
Defa~lt for integration time is 10 minutes. This can he changed
hy: ~INT, MIN, SEC to any time up to 35 minutes.
!f you wish to use another integration time hut only for one
inte~ration, then do not use START INTEGRATION soft key hut type
in c~mmand:
XSTA~T, MIN, SEC with a maximum time of 30 minutes.
4. ENDING YOUR OBSERVATIONS
Entering TERM twice kills all your files on the disco So, in your
own interest, please leave the system running when leaving the
telescope in the morning. This will ensure that we can copy your
da ta files from the disc to your master tape in case something has
gone wrong.
USE OF IDS
1.- PREPARATIONS IN CASSEGRAIN CAGE

Grating changes are done by the ESO opticians. Setting of
grating angle must be done after focussing and sweep setting.
It can be changed by the V.A. It might be necessary to repeat
- 3 -
both afterwards.
Selection ~f different spectral orders can be done using the
two filters:
RED GG 495 (3mm)
BLUE HG 38 (3mm)
which are placed opposite the grating side.
Make sure that filters not in use are pulled fully out.
5- SWEEP SETTING
Use "SWEEP SETTING" synoptic chart,
already stored on disc can be used.
wi th:
if no other sweep pattern
When available, re load it
DRES, Name
A new file number will be communicated; load it with the command
XSWL, 11
6- FOCUSING TRE SPECTROGRAPRr:::J
Check focusing according to 'FOCUSING' synoptic ehart.
7- ADDITIONAL PREPARATIONAL OBSERVATIONS
In the afternoon, make the following observations:
- Flat field integration with Continuum lamp for at least 10
minutes. To be used later for flat field correetions.
- Aceurate HEAR integration (10 minutes) for later wavelength
calibration.
If enough time is avai1able, make your wavelength calibration
aceording t o "WAVELENGTH CALIBRATION" synoptie ehart.
Save flat field and wavelength observations to dise using
DSAVE, #, Name.
8- MEASURING
In Cassegrain Cage:
Refi11 dry-iee if necessary.
Open Cassegrain adapter shutter.
Pull Hartmann screens out.
Select your slit width according to the "Allowable slit widths"
- 4 -
table, noting that the sensitive spot is only "-'6" in the
direction ortogonal to the direction of dispersion.
You are now ready to observe your object.
Define your flat field:
FLAT, #-use the file number created before when observing the continuum
source.
Select your decker according to the "Deeker positions" graph.
Acquire your object on Quantex Large Field (LF).
Switch to slit viewing Large (SVL).
Center your object in upper aperture.
Select integration time:
XINT, MIN, SEC
Use "Measuring" synoptie chart.
Do not forget to FLIP.
DO NOT FORGET to give:
NAMES
COORDINATES
COMMENTS
Finish ALL your measurements with XEND.
9- DISPLAYING RESULTS
For conso1e or plotter displays, use "DISPLAY" synoptie chart.
10- END OF THE NIGHT PROCEDURE
1- Dismount pen from plotter and put b1aek cap on.
2- For seeurity save your last file onee more by MSAVE, #.
3- Give REWIND
4- Leave your tape without the "write ring" for the software
treatment (see General Remarks).
5- It's best not to TERMinate the IDS system by entering TERM
two times (see General Remarks).
6- In Cassegrain cage:
e10se Hartmann screens.
close Cassegrain adapter shutter.
Re-fi1l dry ice.
Switch off HV of Dissector tube.

2) At present still used in ESO TP Geneva for Reticon tests.
Since all gratings can be used with any of the spectrographs it canhappen that one grating is requested by various visiting astronornerssirnu1taneous1y. In this situation the 3.6-rn observer has priority.

Scatter Measurements
An important quantity t o know for the lOS user is the
mean error of a 9iven count. With the below described ob
servat ions and r e d uc t l o n s , i t was found t ha t
c I n ) = (1.82 ± 0.23) ;': In .
which can be interpreted to mean that each photo-electron
event is counted 3.3 times on the average. This corresponds
weIl to the f i o u r e 3 given in M.Cullum and R. Fosbury's
memo of 1978, July 25th.
Under fairly good seeing conditions (2" on the 3.6 m
standard scale) an unidentified star at the instrumental
coordinates c = OSh 52 m L.7 s , Ci = -29 0 16 1 30" was observed
while passing closely through Zenith. Twelve onc-minute
l n t e o r a t Lo n s were performed in quick succession. The decker was
6" x 6" and the slit width 500~. Even if the guiding was done
very carefully,the individual s pe c t r a contained slightly
different numbers of counts (rms scatter = 2.4%). This dis
turbing effect has been removed by normal ising each spectrum
with its integral. Thereafter 15 pointsets were examined,
five at 890 counts/minute, five at ~4060 and five at ~6200.
The average results were as given in the table bclow

If the factor in front of ~ is assumed to be independent
on n, then one obtains t h e mean value c I n ) = (1.82 ± 0.23),'t1n
where t h e quoted e r r o r is the average of the internal and
