FSF User Group

The Field Spectroscopy Facility user group is intended to provide a series of useful utilities designed to facilitate the extraction and processing of field spectrometer data collected by the Facility's equipment suite. These take the form of MATLAB and IDL macros or any other useful software tools which are then freely available to the user community by downloading from this webpage. It is hoped that other users will contribute any code or programs they have for extraction and data processing, which may be useful to others.

If you have any questions regarding the user group, or wish to contribute any utilities for inclusion in this resource, please contact the Field Spectroscopy Facility. For queries relating to specific programs in this resource, please contact the original contributor. And don't forget, if you use any of the resources here, please acknowledge their use in any resulting publications!
