Abstract
AIPS++ is composed of a suite of tools that are capable of both astronomy-specific and general purpose calculations and data processing. Mathematical analysis, data visualization, GUI development, database handling, and scripting are all integrated. A tool for analyzing single-dish data, DISH, is developed on this platform. DISH includes a number of modern features such as bulk processing of datasets and versatile GUI interaction. Recent improvements in the command line interface ease the learning curve and provide facile interaction with scan-based data. Here we give an example of the look and feel of the current command line interface in DISH.
Although its use is not limited to one telescope, DISH includes plug-in functions that relate specifically to calibration and processing of data from the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). The GBT offers versatile spectral line observing capabilities, all of which are handled by the DISH tool. Our example illustrates a simple reduction of total-power, position-switched data showing OH maser emission from an ultraluminous infrared galaxy.
