Limitations and Further Work

Although the MSSP can simulate spectra from the Monash spectrograph, it still has some limitations. The main limitation is that it simulates only the Monash spectrograph. However, the MSSP could be adapted easily to simulate other spectrographs. Also, the current version of the MSSP uses routines for plotting the spectra studied that rely upon a graphics package called HALO professionalgif. As these subroutines are subject to copyright they are not included with the MSSP. However, if a user has a copy of HALO professional then the plotting routines will work normally; if not, then the spectra are stored in ASCII files so they should be plottable with virtually any plotting program.

Further information on the MSSP, as well as the latest version of the program, can be obtained from D. W. Coates.
