== Quick Start ==
This is an a basic overview of taking data; if you're unsure about anything, the Advanced User Guide has much section contains more information.
* If the main user interface instrument control and quick-look interfaces are not running, they may be started from the panel on the left edge of the screen. The main user interface instrument control GUI is started with the icon of an absorption spectrumicon, and the quick-look interface GUI from the icon of an emission spectrumicon.* Fill in target information (optional)Ensure that the grating you require is inserted, and then set the grating to the required angle.* Set the focus required (or use the Run a Hartmann routine; (see the Advanced User Guide)to establish the best focus for the spectrograph.* Set the required focus.
* Set the slit width.
* Select the required filter (or leave the filter open).
* Select the exposure type (ARC, BIAS, SCIENCE, FLAT, TEST)
* If appropriate, set the exposure time and number of exposures.
* Select a target from the target catalogue so that the object name and coordinates will go into the fits header.
* If taking a science image, acquire the target, and ensure that it is visible through the slit.
* If taking an arc, ensure that the arc mirror is in-beam, and the chosen arc lamp is on (remember to turn off the arc lamp and move the arc mirror out of beam when done).
* Start the exposure with the Expose button.
* The countdown timer will show the time remaining, and the progress bar will first show the exposure completion state, and then the readout state.
