Currently there are 2 production, and 1 development computer systems that go with the SHOC instrument. There are 2 working Andor cameras.

The SHOC website may well have more extensive detail about this instrument.

Dr. Marissa Kotze has written some pipeline software which may help with reduction of SHOC data.
