| Abstract |
SALT uses the Principal Investigator Proposal Tool (PIPT) for
generating, checking, submitting and editing proposals. The PIPT maps
XML into Java classes with immediate error and consistency checking, and
thus prevents non-feasible observation requests. Various tools allow the
user to simulate SALT observations. These include standard source
spectra (e.g. black body, power law, Kurucz model atmospheres), and
allow users to add their own library spectra. The PIPT is complemented
by the Web Manager for administering submitted proposals. It is
discussed how the code of these tools can easily be extended for future
instruments and used for other projects. |
