SCUBA software
The SCUBA software faults page
These pages describe the software that forms part of the Submillimetre Common
User Bolometer Array (SCUBA)
project. The SCUBA software is based on the Starlink software environment and is
written in Fortran and Perl.
Information is available on the following SCUBA software packages:
 Observer's Guide
The Observer's Guide describes how to observe
with SCUBA. Note this is still a draft and improved HTML version will appear
soon. (postscript;
compressed)
Here is description of the work we are
doing to attempt to cure outstanding software faults, including
a list of problems frequently encountered in the observing system
and their fixes.
The SCUBA User Reduction Facility
(SURF) is a collection of applications for use in reducing mapping and
photometry data from SCUBA at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope.
SCULIB
Core SCUBA subroutine library used in the on-line software and SURF.
Documentation for SCULIB (useful if you wish to write extensions to SURF)
will be available shortly.
NDFPERL
SCUBA data is stored in the Starlink NDF format. The SURF journal software
(sculog) accesses these NDFs via NDF perl module:
NDFPERL is a perl
interface to the Starlink NDF library. NDFPERL is not required for reducing
SCUBA data but it does provide extra features if the module is present.
A wish list for improvements to the SCUBA software is also available.
Please consult this list if you have any suggestions for improvements or
if you would like to write your own extensions to SURF.
