Purpose

This document describes the usage of the DCR tool, an AIPS++ tool used to analyze continuum data taken with the Digital Continuum Receiver (DCR) backend on the Green Bank Telescope (GBT). The DCR tool is the primary package used for continuum analysis during commissioning of the GBT. It allows access to raw data from the DCR, it handles pointing and focus analysis, and it includes a number of functions which make up the toolkit used by the astronomers commissioning the GBT. Continuum imaging and other science-related continuum observations are handled elsewhere in the AIPS++ system.

This documentation is written specifically for the staff and visitors to the Green Bank site. Minor changes may be required when used at other sites.
