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.
