Herschel: PACS/XHSPOT

X-HSPOT Features and BUGS

USE 3.4.4 HSPOT release

BUGS:

Obsolete

• it cannot deal with variables which content contains spaces: well known issue for us is the

“POS A”/”POS B” filter position.

• Spaces are accepted in X-HSPOT: PLEASE use new HSPOT release: 3.4.4

• X-HSPOT does not know the difference between no_pointing and standard pointings commands (i.e. PacsEng or PacsCal): i.e. you must define a RA and DEC in the target panel on XHSPOT and give it a name even for the PacsEng AORs (shall be fixed in next build).

• -1 now is accepted as default value

Features:

to submit your proposal:

Obsolete See Adding Calibration measurements using HSpot

• IMPORTANT: give it a meaningful title
• you should had an abstract
• IMPORTANT you have to attach a PDF file (still not sorted for the CAL): it does not need to be a “true” file, just use any PDF file or even (I checked) in the command line on your system (UNIX/Linux/ MAC) touch filename.pdf. It is enough.
• When hitting the submit button you will be asked a username and a password: Give your real name for traceability. “A” password has to be given, whichever, it is irrelevant.
• In the Database, the AORs will be called Calibration_username_runingnumber

Please refer to the viewgrahs released by Sarah:

Important

1. Save your AORs on your local disk.
2. HSpot is very sensitive to the changes in the layout of the CUS scripts. AORs submitted under one mission configuration may not be loadable in a new version of HSpot pointing at a new version of the mission configuration
3. Please refer to .... for information about new implementation of CUS scripts and new mission configurations

4. If your AORs do not load in HSpot, please see XHSpot FAQ
