Installing the Instrument Characteristics

RefHeadingToc523843491 Since OSA 8.0, the IC data is no more provided as a pre-packaged tar-file nor via a script to download the files.

1. Define an archive directory to store the instrument characteristics and the reference catalogues. Then execute one of the following commands:
   • setenv REP_BASE_PROD __archive_directory__ - for csh family
   • REP_BASE_PROD=__archive_directory__ ; export REP_BASE_PROD - for sh family
   (If the setenv commands fail with a message like: 'setenv: command not found' or 'setenv: not found' please read theappendix on `Troubleshooting'.)
2. with the following command you will retrieve the IC data from the ISDC server :

rsync -Lzrtv isdcarc.unige.ch::arc/FTP/arc_distr/ic_tree/prod/ $REP_BASE_PROD

A total disk space of some 3+ GBytes is needed to install the full IC data containing all INTERAL instruments.

The file names of the IC data are significant and must not be changed. Otherwise internal references in the IC data will be broken.
