The Observers SWS Interactive Analysis Package (OSIA), a public subset of the scientifically usefull modules from the SWS Interactive Analysis system (IA3) used at the Vilspa ground station and various SWS institutes in the calibration of the SWS instrument, has been released! This package, complementary to the ISO Spectral Analysis Package (ISAP), may be used to reduce SWS data from the SPD to the AAR level. OSIA is running under UNIX and VMS and requires IDL (Interactive Data Language) version 5.0 or higher.
OSIA tools allow you to e.g. reprocess SPD either automatically or fully interactively, remove fringes, look at your data via plotting, listing or checking status/flag words, rebin and combine your data. A full listing of the functionality will appear in ISO INFO No.14. All tools come with an extensive set of documentation and on-line help system.
OSIA was produced by the Space Research Organisation Netherlands (SRON), Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium), Max Planck Institut fuer extraterrestrische Physik (MPE-Garching) and the European Space Agency.
The homepage for OSIA can be found at http://sws.ster.kuleuven.ac.be/osia/. This page include documentation and allows users to enter Software Problem Reports (although users are encouraged to check the current list before entering a new SPR).
