Descripción
OSIRIS is a Day One instrument that will be available at the 10m GTC
telescope which is being built at La Palma observatory in the Canary
Islands. This optical instrument is designed to obtain wide-field
narrow-band images using tunable filters and to do low-resolution
spectroscopy in both long-slit and multislit modes. For the multislit
spectroscopy mode, we have developed a software to assist the observers
to design focal plane masks. In this paper we describe the
characteristics of this Mask Designer tool. We discuss the main design
concepts, the functionality and particular features of the software.
