Standard Spectrograph Setup

As described above the setup of gratings, which determines the spectrum echelle format, can arbitrarily be determined within the range allowed. However, users are encouraged to use one of the standard spectrum formats for efficiency of observation and data reduction. Standard formats and setups of the HDS are given in Table [*]. Default echelle and detector rotation angles are 0.25 deg (900 asec) and -1 deg respectivelly.

For the observations in the longslit mode, one can currently use either of the five available setups. In all cases only the Red CCD is in use, filters are mounted in turret 1, and the cross disperser is replaced by a mirror (the cross angle is set to 0). These setups are summarised in Table [*].
