FIESTool

FIESTool has been updated to properly process data taken with the simultaneous-sky mode (using the medium-resolution fibers 2 and 3) such than when online FIESTool will reduce and show the star spectrum in fiber 3.

We still are working on our plan to make the startup of FIESTool fully automatic as part of the startup of the FIES observing system. In this way we can also ensure that all the observations are reduced on the fly. This is part of our plan to add as a service the automatically reduced data of the observations to the copy of the raw data we provide to the observers.

However, FIESTool is being used as an on-line reduction tool to assess the quality of the obtained data and running FIESTool fully automatic in the background does not allow for this. To solve this problem, a dedicated graphical client has been written to be run on the computers the observer can access. This client will cover the plotting functionality that the users get from FIESTool, with the added benefit of plotting multiple images at once, allowing easy comparison.
