MIDIR
Multi-Instrument Data Input Reduce-inator. A data reduction toolkit for long slit spectrographs, built so that adding a new instrument is a small job rather than a rewrite.
What it does
The Multi-Instrument Data Input Reduce-inator reduces spectral data from long slit spectrographs. The aim is a framework that can be extended to any long slit spectrograph without reworking the core, so support for a new instrument is a matter of describing it rather than writing a new pipeline.
A graphical interface handles the reduction parameters, presets cover workflows you repeat, and progress is reported while a reduction runs.
Built with
Python for the application, with C++ for the parts where it matters. Native components build through a Makefile before first run.
