SIMPLE
is an IDL based data reduction package for optical and near-IR
blank-field imaging observations. While it is currently optimized
for the
MOIRCS
camera on Subaru and the
WIRCAM
camera on CFHT, its subroutines are written as generally as
possible. It should be fairly easy to modify current SIMPLE
distributions to process data from other similar instruments.
System
Requirement SIMPLE makes intensive uses of the
IDL Astronomy Library and
the
SExtractor
package. Both should be installed first in order to run
SIMPLE. Of course,
IDL
is required. The current version of SIMPLE has been tested on
recent Solaris, Linux, and Mac OS X. To run SIMPLE-MOIRCS, at
least 2 GB of system RAM is required. A 64-bit system (both OS
and IDL) with minimum 3 GB of RAM is preferred, and is required for
making large mosaics. A fast CPU helps, but is less critical than
the RAM.
