Experiment Planner is a module of Pender Technology's
ADAPT software package. It should load in
a separate window in a few seconds. In order to run this applet, you will need
the Java plug-in for your web browser. If you do not already have this plug-in
installed, you will be prompted to download it.
Experiment Planner provides several tabbed panes with tools useful for
experiment planning and data analysis. The Instrument Model tab contains
two input panels, Telescope and Eyepiece, and a Properties
output panel. The Reference tab contains two panels, Constants
and Conversions. In either of these panels, you can click on the units
button to see a list of the available set of units, then select the desired
units from the list. The conversion interface is bi-directional in that you
can key a number into either text field, press enter, and the other text field
will be updated with the converted number. The Experiment Planner can be used
as an integrated module within ADAPT, as a
standalone application, or as an applet loaded by your web browser.
