Introduction to IRAF, TABLES, and STSDAS

Documentation

The most extensive information about the STSDAS package and tasks can be found in the online help files. These are continuously updated and will always be more current than printed documentation--your first line of inquiry should always be to consult the online help.

The STSDAS group provides various user manuals and other documents to help explain the software and its use. This documentation is provided in printed form to users who request the software on tape from the Institute. Users who retrieve the software via anonymous ftp can also retrieve a complete set of documentation in the directory documents/stsdas-docs. These files are in PostScript form; if you have trouble using PostScript files, please request a printed documentation set from the HotSeat staff or the User Support Branch at STScI.

A complete user documentation set consists of:

STSDAS User's Guide (revised April 1994)

IGI User's Guide (revised October 1992)

SPP Reference Manual (revised October 1992)

Synphot User's Guide (revised September 1993)

STSDAS Site Manager's Installation Guide and Reference (revised September 1993)
