Descripción
ISOPHOT is one of the instruments on board the Infrared Space
Observatory (ISO), launched in November 1995 by the European Space
Agency. ISOPHOT Interactive Analysis, PIA, is a scientific and
calibration data analysis tool for ISOPHOT data reduction. The PIA
software was designed both as a tool for use by the instrument team for
calibration of the PHT instrument during and after the ISO mission, and
as an interactive tool for ISOPHOT data analysis by general observers.
It has been jointly developed by the ESA Astrophysics Division
(responsible for planning, direction, and execution) and scientific
institutes forming the ISOPHOT consortium. PIA is entirely based on the
Interactive Data Language IDL (IDL92). All the capabilities of
input/output, processing, and visualization can be reached from window
menus for all the different ISOPHOT sub-systems, in all levels of data
reduction from digital raw data, coming from the ISO telemetry, to the
final level of calibrated images, spectra, and multi-filter,
multi-aperture photometry. In this article, we describe the structure of
the package, putting special emphasis on the internal data organization
and management.
