Where can I find all the instrument and template manuals I need?


The individual Instrument User Manuals (UM) are the most comprehensive and complete source of info for preparing your observation. In the Instrument Table you can find at once all the manuals you need for each Instrument. The table includes not only the User Manuals, but also the Template Manuals (if they are not provided at the end of the instrument UM) and the Manuals of software necessary for preparing your OB (e.g. FIMS for FORS2 and KARMA for KMOS).
