NAPS - NAncay Preprocessing Software (Patrice Renaud)

Data reduction, calibration, exportation in SIR format, also in FITS format.

As in pan, you will find an on-line help (in french - type help). An english translation of this help will be available on the Nancay web site. A manual (in french, version July 2000) can be found on /usr/users/renaud/naps/distribute on nanrt5 :

NAPS can read and process fil and nco files. A few commands are following:

NAPS> set scan 23956           ! defines current scan; reads data file header
NAPS> show cycle 1             ! your observation is divided in N identical
                               ! cycles, focal carriage position apart
NAPS> sup cycle 1              ! suppression of cycle 1
NAPS> disp mode=1              ! example of 2D display of the whole scan
NAPS> inte                     ! integrate your N cycles
NAPS> save                     ! = inte + writes in SIR (FITS) format
NAPS> set result fits          ! next save will produce FITS format
NAPS is based on the RSI IDL language, and is installed on the Meudon computers (mesioq.obspm.fr). It is possible to install this IDL package on local computers (unix, IDL5.4 or higher).
