A number of SUN/SPARC workstations and X-terminals for general MIDAS use are located in the User room 213. They run UNIX and are configured with the X11 window system. You can login by giving the Userid/Password allocated to you. When working in the ESO X11 environment, it is necessary to point the cursor on the X11 OSF/Motif window in question to get access to it. Several MIDAS sessions may be run on a workstation at the same time using the parallel option when starting MIDAS with the inmidas command. Different MIDAS unit numbers can also be given specified on the command line.
Below we describe the devices currently supported by MIDAS. A complete list of available devices at ESO-Garching the reader is referred to to ESO WWW page http://http.hq.eso.org/garching-info/computing/devices.html
