====== Using CLASS on the observerX computers at Effelsberg ======


If you want to reduce your (spectroscopic and pointing) data with class one should use the **observer6** or **observer9** or **observer10** computer. Everyone with an account in the mpifr network can login to this computer with his/her account. It is connected to the /homes server. It is also connected to /homes/astro/gag, so your gildas packeage of choice should work. It is also possible to use a local version of class, which is used to write the spectroscopic and pointing data. to enable this change to the bash shell by typing bash and source the init file:\\
\\
**source /opt/bin/init_class.sh**\\
\\
afterward you can try to run\\
\\
**class**\\
\\
the Data from the pipeline is stored in **/daten/Class** on **be4** and after a time also at **/eff/data** (especially for
access from Bonn). To open the file:\\
\\
**las90> file in "/eff/data/Class/fw_class_2018-12-11_03-18.100m"**\\
\\
**las90> find**\\
\\
for pointings you have to switch to continuum mode:\\
\\
**las90> set type c**\\
\\
**cas90> find**\\
\\
to switch back for line observations:\\
\\
**cas90> set type l**\\
\\
**las90> find**\\
\\
To look for new data type and wait:\\
\\
**las90> new**\\
\\
You can of course write out your spectra to a new file. You have to specify it with:\\
\\
**las90> file out myFile.100m mult**\\
