2.3 Choosing an optical configuration.

Before you start reducing images you should load the appropriate optical configuration into the program. This can be achieved in several different ways. The conf button on the bottom tool bar brings up a dialog box which enables you to select a pre-defined configuration. A single mouse click will select a configuration. For the example images, you should select the configuration sim:512. The selected configuration is displayed in the combo-box, second from the right in the main menu bar. An alternative way to select a configuration is to press the left mouse button in this combo-box and select an entry from the resulting menu.

When reducing your own data, if your optical/program configuration is not pre-defined you will have to create one using the Edit :: Telescope parameters and Edit :: Algorithm parameters dialog boxes . Once you have defined a configuration for your telescope, you name and save it by using the File :: Save reduction configuration dialog.
