Abstract:
CLASS is the program of the GILDAS suite dedicated to the data
reduction and analysis of heterodyne instruments at cm and (sub-)mm
single-dish telescopes. It is used by the IRAM-30m, APEX,
SOFIA/GREAT, Herschel/HIFI, YEBES, Effelsberg. Because of tremendous
improvement of the heterodyne spectrometer, the CLASS data format
is evolving again after years of stability. To help non-IRAM
telescope to cope with these changes, the CLASS team is now
providing fillers to the Class Data Format writers. Three different
possibilities are given: 1) A procedure using the SIC intepreter;
2) A Fortran program linked to the CLASS library; And 3) a Python
script using a dedicated Python module. This document describes how
those 3 APIs can be used and examples are provided in the
appendices.
