Off-line Reduction
</H1>
The overall approach to IR data reduction is summarized in
Figure <A HREF="node655.html#fig:fig_irac2_red">J.3</A>
(inspired by a similar diagram in T.M. Herbst's manual for the Calar
Alto MAGIC cameras). We shall describe each of these steps below, and
indicate the necessary MIDAS routines to achieve them.
