Hello all ,
dispite of all the mentioned shortcomings , I just spend about 3 hrs to watch all the tudor videos on Rspec ,
I also downloaded the software an played with it on some old *. bmp Spectras I took a few years ago with cookbook camera and LHIRES III.
All features are easy to handle and produce fast results.

regards Wolfgang

I encouraged Tom to develop Rspec as a simple, easy to use tool for Star Analyser users starting in spectroscopy. Its main strength is the real time display of reduced spectra. This helps the beginner and is useful for education.

It should not be used for scientific research though as it currently does not do all the steps necessary. For example

There is no dark or flat correction.
The simple background subtraction technique is not ideal.
The program scales spectra internally and so does not preserve the ADU counts. This means absolute flux measurements cannot be compared.

It would also need careful testing by experienced spectroscopists and checking of the algorithms used against established programs like MIDAS before it would be acceptable for scientific use. (Tom is an experienced programmer but is inexperienced in spectroscopy)

Tom is aware of these limitations. The danger is that some users may believe that the program is capable of research quality data reduction and will be disappointed when their data is rejected for Pro-Am applications.

Hi Robin,

Thanks for that explanation.

Ich habe mir das mal angesehen und die neueste version ...39 arbeitet also so dass da nichts mehr "gescaled" wird :lol: ¿ komprimiert wird ?

In dem Menü Tools kann man jetzt ein Häkchen setzen bei einer funktion damit dies nicht geschieht

Damit scheint das erwähnte problem von Robin anscheinend nicht mehr zu existieren ¿?

Hi Rainer,

I see the 32bit option was added 6 days ago. (The spectrum Tom uses in the video is one of mine. I noticed the problem in August last year and reported the problem to Tom.) I have just downloaded the latest version and retested the binning function and I now get good agreement with the result that Visual Spec produces. It is important to select the 32 bit function to get the correct ADU values.

All the Rspec program functions need careful testing. We should not assume they work correctly.

Robin
