== Additional Packages & Related Software ==
 * [[http://www.mpe.mpg.de/~ott/QFitsView|QFitsView]]
  * Get the latest version of QFitsView from MPE, the recommended viewer for KMOS data. 
 * [[attachment:dark_channel_correction.tar.gz|Detector readout channel correction]]
  * IDL-toolchain to remove detector readout channel effects (see SPARK guide section 7.1)
 * [[attachment:lac3dn.tar|L.A. cosmic]]
  * IDL script to remove cosmics (see SPARK guide section 5.1.3)
 * [[attachment:qfits-6.2.0.tar.gz|qfits-6.2.0.tar.gz]]
  * ESO package containing tools like dfits, dtfits etc. These are very useful to navigate through the exposures beforehand reducing data.
  * This needn't to be installed if you already have ESO's Scisoft installed.
  * An install script has been added to the tar-file to ensure compilation on 64bit Linux systems.
  * '''Known issue for MacOSX 10.7 and up:'''
   * qfits-6.2.0 can't be compiled, no fix found so far
 * Karma
  * Get the latest version of the OB preparation tool from [[http://www.usm.uni-muenchen.de/people/wegner/kmos/en/karma.php|USM]] or [[http://www.eso.org/sci/observing/phase2/SMGuidelines/KARMA.FORS.html|ESO]]
