Release of the Observers SWS Interactive Analysis Package

The Observers SWS Interactive Analysis Package (OSIA) version 4.0 has been
released!

This package, complementary to the ISO Spectral Analysis Package (ISAP),
may be used to reduce SWS data from the ERD to the AAR level. It is a
public version of the SWS Interactive Analysis system used at the Vilspa
ground station and various institutes in the SWS collaboration.
OSIA was developed and produced by the Space Research Organisation
Netherlands (SRON), Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL, Belgium),
Max-Planck-Institut fuer extraterrestrische Physik (MPE, Germany) and the
European Space Agency (ESA).

OSIA has tools to allow you to, for example; reprocess ERD and SPD either
automatically or with full interactivity, remove fringes, examine data
visually via plotting tools, listing or checking status/flag words,
rebinning and combining. All tools are accompanied by an extensive set of
documentation.

The homepage for OSIA can be found at http://sws.ster.kuleuven.ac.be/osia/.
The web pages include documentation in the form of a Users Manual
consisting of a series of How-To guides through the various
reduction stages (follow the 'Documentation' link in the frame of this web-page).
Supplementary information regarding ISO and the SWS
instrument may be found in the ISO SWS Handbook (available at 
http://www.iso.vilspa.esa.es/manuals/HANDBOOK/sws_hb/).
In addition, these web pages allow users to enter Software
Problem Reports (follow the 'Problem Reports' link in the frame of this web-page).
OSIA may be downloaded from this site by following the 'Download' link and
filling the form with the requested information. Your name and email
address 
will never be distributed outside the SWS consortium and will only be used
for statistical purposes (i.e. usage of OSIA). Please
refer to How To Install OSIA on
your system or the User's Manual for installation guidelines 
(follow the 'Documentation' link in the frame of this web-page).

OSIA has been tested on Unix, Linux and Vax machines and requires IDL.
