It describes, in much more detail than in the on-line help files, the functionality of the ROMAFOT commands, in particular how several algorithms work (e.g. the search and fitting algorithms). Also, it shows how the user can shift from the automatic to the interactive mode, and gives suggestions as to what action to take in particular circumstances. The first-time-user is advised to read this documentation before starting; for the more experienced user this section may serve as a trouble shooting section and as a reference. <P> In the description of the ROMAFOT package below, the schemes in Figure <A HREF="node85.html#romafot-reduction-scheme">5.1</A>, Figure <A HREF="node85.html#romafot-degree-completeness">5.2</A> and Figure <A HREF="node85.html#romafot-transfer-procedure">5.3</A> will be followed. First, the commands needed to determine the Point Spread Function (PSF) will be described. Thereafter, the interactive and the automatic paths will be explained. Then, the procedure to determine the photometric accuracy and the degree of completeness will be illustrated. Finally, an efficient path to measure several frames of the same field is presented. For each of the steps described in the documentation the command and the command syntax are given. <P> <BR><HR> <!--Table of Child-Links--> <A NAME="CHILD_LINKS"> </A> <UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2522" HREF="node87.html">Study of the Point Spread Function</A> <UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2523" HREF="node88.html">SELECT/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2524" HREF="node89.html">FIT/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2525" HREF="node90.html">ANALYSE/ROMAFOT</A> </UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2526" HREF="node91.html">The Interactive Path</A> <UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2527" HREF="node92.html">FIND/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2528" HREF="node93.html">ANALYSE/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2529" HREF="node94.html">FIT/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2530" HREF="node95.html">ANALYSE/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2531" HREF="node96.html">ANALYSE/ROMAFOT</A> </UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2532" HREF="node97.html">The Automatic Path</A> <UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2533" HREF="node98.html">SKY/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2534" HREF="node99.html">SEARCH/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2535" HREF="node100.html">GROUP/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2536" HREF="node101.html">FIT/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2537" HREF="node102.html">EXAMINE/ROMAFOT</A> </UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2538" HREF="node103.html">Registration of the Results</A> <UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2539" HREF="node104.html">REGISTER/ROMAFOT</A> </UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2540" HREF="node105.html">Photometry of the Other Program Frames</A> <UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2541" HREF="node106.html">CBASE/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2542" HREF="node107.html">CTRANS/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2543" HREF="node108.html">ADAPT/ROMAFOT</A> </UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2544" HREF="node109.html">Additional Utilities</A> <UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2545" HREF="node110.html">DIAPHRAGM/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2546" HREF="node111.html">RESIDUAL/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2547" HREF="node112.html">ADDSTAR/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2548" HREF="node113.html">FCLEAN/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2549" HREF="node114.html">CHECK/ROMAFOT</A> </UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2550" HREF="node115.html">Big Pixels</A> <UL> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2551" HREF="node116.html">MODEL/ROMAFOT</A> <LI><A NAME="tex2html2552" HREF="node117.html">MFIT/ROMAFOT</A> </UL></UL> <!--End of Table of Child-Links--> <HR> <!--Navigation Panel--> <A NAME="tex2html2520" HREF="node87.html"> <IMG WIDTH="37" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="next" SRC="icons.gif/next_motif.gif"></A> <A NAME="tex2html2517" HREF="node82.html"> <IMG WIDTH="26" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="up" SRC="icons.gif/up_motif.gif"></A> <A NAME="tex2html2511" HREF="node85.html"> <IMG WIDTH="63" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="previous" SRC="icons.gif/previous_motif.gif"></A> <A NAME="tex2html2519" HREF="node1.html"> <IMG WIDTH="65" HEIGHT="24" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" ALT="contents" SRC="icons.gif/contents_motif.gif"></A> <BR> <B> Next:</B> <A NAME="tex2html2521" HREF="node87.html">Study of the Point</A> <B> Up:</B> <A NAME="tex2html2518" HREF="node82.html">Crowded Field Photometry</A> <B> Previous:</B> <A NAME="tex2html2512" HREF="node85.html">Overview of ROMAFOT</A> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> <ADDRESS> <I>Petra Nass</I> <BR><I>1999-06-15</I> </ADDRESS> </BODY> </HTML>
