This file is ./makee/0.README NEW IN OCTOBER 2000: The October 2000 version of "makee" has been modified to reduce either Keck HIRES or Keck ESI data. It has also been modified to run on either on a Sun (SparcStation) system or a Linux (PC) system. To install the Keck HIRES/ESI reduction software, edit the file "OptionsSun" (for Sun systems) or "OptionsLinux" (for linux systems) to indicate the location of your PGPLOT libraries and to choose optimization. When you first install "makee", execute "make sun" or "make linux" depending on your system. This will create links for the "Options" and the "SystemChoice.h" files. .................... To use these programs, you should set the following in your .cshrc file: setenv MAKEE_DIR /(localpath)/ setenv PGPLOT_FONT /usr/local/pgplot/grfont.dat setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/pgplot/ set path = ( $path $MAKEE_DIR/bin ) where the value of "(localpath)" for each of the above will depend on your system's directory structure and where you installed this package. For example, if you un-tar the file "makee.tar" in the /usr/local/ directory, then you would use: "setenv MAKEE_DIR /usr/local/makee/". Also note that the "/usr/local/pgplot/" directory may be different for your system. .................... Note that: Links for all the executables are contained within the ./bin directory. Execute any program with no parameters to get the syntax and description. See the file 0.programs for a list and brief description of programs. See the file 0.makee.help for a brief description of makee. .................... Special note about raw image binning: The current version works best on 1x2 binned images (1 column by 2 rows) for HIRES or 1x1 for ESI. It will also work with other binnings, although it has only been tested for 1x1 and 1x2 binned images. Note that the current wavelength calibration will only work for 1 column binnings. Memory has been allocated for 1x1 binned images. If you are not planning on reducing 1x1 images and you have limited memory (less than 100 MB RAM) you may want to change the "parameter(maxpix=..." line in $MAKEE_DIR/EE/maxpix.inc . .................... All user accessable parameters for the echelle extraction software are contained in a file called "makee.HIRES.param" or "makee.ESI.param" in the $MAKEE_DIR directory. This file contains the default parameters. If you want to change these, copy this file to your directory, edit the file, and specify the new file on the command line where appropriate. ....................
