    3 5  Many non-essential but potentially helpful C programs are distributed in the software tarball.  These unsupported "extras" can be installed by running: 
    4 6  {{{ 
    5 7  make extras 
    6 8  }}} 
    7 9  after installing the core libraries and utilities necessary to run a detector.  These tool are supplied in the hope that they may prove to be useful in some way.  Suggestions, requests, and patches are welcome but the tools are provided as-is. 
    8 10  Many of the system level tools used with STARGRASP on the Pan-STARRS 1 Giga Pixel Camera 1 are those developed at the [http://www.cfht.hawaii.edu Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope].  Typically, each facility will want to use the [wiki:GraspSwToolkit STARGRASP Toolkit] programs to interface to existing software.  In many cases, it is convenient to set up some of the following in order to have a more complete system. 
    9 11   * [wiki:GraspExtrasOperationsStatserv Status Server] 
    10 12   * [wiki:GraspExtrasOperationsLogging Log System] 
    11 13   * [wiki:GraspExtrasSoftwareFitspipe Fitspipe Video Server] 
    12 14  Command line tools, many with specialized support for specific detector types such as OTAs: 
    13 15   * [wiki:GraspExtrasSoftwareNoisetone noisetone] - C program. Repeatedly reads out a small area of a device and depicts calculated noise data as audible tones. Useful for providing immediate feedback on changes made to system grounding, etc. without having to refer to a numeric readout on a screen.

    17 19   * [wiki:GraspExtrasSoftwareOtatool otatool] - C program. Multi-use tool to operate on a MEF FITS file and generate various different outputs, including per-extension statistics, colour-stretched JPEGs of the image data, etc.
