Template Data Processing Scripts & Online Tutorials

Starting with HIPE 8.0, the "ipipe" repository provides the latest templates for PACS data processing. These templates are instructive and useful as starting points both for understanding the steps involved in the PACS data reduction and in providing the skeletal framework that may be customized for your specific data reduction needs. The NHSC prepared several tutorials on how to use and apply these template frames. These tutorials provide a self-guided tour of the ipipe data reduction scripts and are detailed in a step-by-step guide on what you need to get started with the basics of PACS data reduction.
