Overview
Each of the five DKIST Instrument has their own Instrument Performance Calculator Tools. More information on the DKIST First Light Instruments is available here.
Tools
An IPC instrument output file must be provided for each DKIST submitted proposal, per instrument requested. The Instrument IPC tool(s) must be used to create the IPC file and submit it with the proposal. Please read the tool-specific manual and system requirements in order to run the IPC tool(s), such as the minimum Java requirements as well as an IDL license for some instruments. Each IPC tool has its own documentation within the download package.
