16 CHAPTER 2. ABOUT CIA

• There are some incompatibilities between different implementations of X Windows. This
can cause some widgets to be incompletely rendered on screen. This situation can occur
when CIA is running on remote machine and a PC X-Windows server is used for display.
• The IDL Astronomy User’s Library routine getrot returns the ROLL angle and not the
rotation angle as specified. See Appendix E.
• CIA creates log files when a session is initiated. Information about your session, and
any errors which may occur, are recorded in these files. You can use the CIA routine
error level to set the level of verbosity of error reporting, both to the screen and the to
log files. See the on-line help or cia help (Section 2.3.2) for usage.
• CIA uses IDL’s READ and RESTORE to save CIA data structures to file. Such a data
file cannot be restored by a version of IDL pre-dating the version which saved the file.
However, the converse is not true. IDL can always restore data saved by a preceding
version.
• As is usual with IDL, in the event of a crash you may not automatically return to the
main IDL level and so your variables will seem to have disappeared. Generally, you can
recover by typing RETALL on the command line.
• Following a widget crash you may find that all subsequently called widgets appear dead
on your screen. This is a problem with the IDL widget manager, XMANAGER. Usually,
invoking it manually (type XMANAGER on the CIA command line) will reactivate your
widget.
• Please be aware that the use of netscape (or another X-windows resource hog) might get
your CIA session stuck when using widget routines like xdisp or xv raster.
• x cia, when running on VMS, is not able to load SSCDs or data structure files if they are
not in the current directory.
2.5 Acknowledging CIA in publications
CIA is a joint development by the ESA Astrophysics Division and the ISOCAM Consortium. The
ISOCAM Consortium is led by the ISOCAM PI, C. Cesarsky. Contributing ISOCAM Consortium
institutes are Service d’Astrophysique (SAp, Saclay, France) and Institut d’Astrophysique
Spatiale (IAS, Orsay, France) and Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC, Pasadena,
U.S.A.).
When publishing ISOCAM Data reduced with this analysis package, please mention this in
the acknowledgment the following way:
The ISOCAM data presented in this paper was analysed using ‘CIA’, a joint
development by the ESA Astrophysics Division and the ISOCAM Consortium. The
ISOCAM Consortium is led by the ISOCAM PI, C. Cesarsky.
