Project Calibration in 10 Steps

1.
Your project number, e.g. x999, will be used as ``username'' for all data files. Use this account to log on IRAUX1.
2.
Download your data using the following commands
	$ load_project x999
	$ load_x999
3.
Read the x999.note file
4.
Create the calibration files
	$ CLIC @ PR:DEFINE
		Wait for Menu Bar, Hold the ``CLIC'' Menu
		Select ``Raw Data File''
5.
For each calibration file, calibrate using
	$ CLIC @ PR:DEFINE
		Wait for Menu Bar, Hold the ``CLIC'' Menu
		Select ``Standard Calibration''
6.
Save the calibration (and optionally data) files on optical disk. Also save the Postscript logs for archive.
	$ load_don 1 ipb
	$ cp *.hpb *.IPB *.ps ~/don_ipb/
	$ unload_don
7.
Make the UV tables. Create CLIC command procedures to do so: never rely on interactive typing for this stage. Then, delete the calibration and data files.
	$ rm *.hpb *.IPB *.ps
8.
Make the images
	$ GRAPHIC INPUT
		Wait for Menu Bar, Hold the ``Program(s)'' Menu
		Select ``Interferometric Data Display''
		Activate UV_MAP, CLEAN and DISPLAY for each UV data set
9.
Save the UV tables, images and ancillary files used
	$ load_don 1 map
	$ cp *.uvt *.lmv* *.beam *.clic *.graphic ~/don_map/
	$ unload_don
10.
Write up your article (optional).
