NDWFS Computers

NDWFS reductions are currently being run on the computers Chomper (Ultra-2) , Zathras  (Tiede's Ultra-60), Crunch, and occasionally on Kumbhakarna (Dey's Ultra-60).  We use the accounts deepopt , deepopt1, or deepopt2 for reduction of the optical MOSAIC data.  Ask Buell or Arjun for the passwords. IRAF start-up files (login.cl, loginuser.cl) are located in /home/deepopt/iraf (and /home/deepopt1/iraf; /home/deepopt2/).   Some of the scripts you will need later in the reduction process live on Chomper in the deepopt account (/home/deepopt/iraf/scripts).
 

IRAF on NDWFS Computers

On Chomper, if you start IRAF from /home/deepopt/iraf/ (by typing cl from that directory) you should get the correct version of IRAF. If, however, the version you see is older than V3.2.1 you need to do the following: cl> reset mscred=/iraf/extern/mscredV3.2.1/mscred/ cl> mscred
 

Tape Drives on NDWFS Computers

On Chomper, the DLT drive is named mtm when accessed through IRAF. On Climber, the DDS4 is named mtq .
