The FIREHOSE pipeline is currently under release via anonymous svn. This allows us to implement bug fixes quickly in the early phase of public use. Once we have obtained sufficiently stable builds, we will tag them and release to this site as tarballs.
The package consists of a suite of IDL routines plus some archived calibration files. After downloading, you can read the installation instructions for information on how to unpack and configure the software.
TO DOWNLOAD:
On a terminal, change to the directory where you wish to place the reduction codes. Typically this would be in ~/idl or some such location as in $(IDL_LOCAL). Then type the following command:
svn co svn://pele.mit.edu//FIRE FIRE
This connects you anonymously to our code repository server, and will place the necessary files in a new subfolder named FIRE. In the future, if the instrument team announces significant updates to the pipeline, you may download these by changing to the install directory and typing
svn update
which will synchronize your local copy of the code with the most recent version in our servers.
Release History
v1.3 [beta] - 08 / 26 / 2011
This release includes routines for handling data taken in FIRE's low dispersion prism mode.
v1.2 [beta] - 08 / 05 / 2011
This release adds features to allow user-selected extraction apertures and more preferences for general extraction. Fixed many outstanding bugs, probably introduced others.
v1.1 [beta] - 04 / 21 / 2011
This is the initial public release of firehose. We are currently supporting code to reduce FIRE echelle mode observations only, although longslit routines are in the code base and brave users can give them a try until we move to support them as well.
The current release is in beta stage only. We have made every effort to produce robust reductions but users should examine outputs critically and report feedback to our team, or comment to this wiki.
