This guide describes how to access, calibrate and derive scientific results from the EIS instrument on Hinode. For a description of EIS and its observing modes please consult the instrument paper, [Culhane et al. (2007)|http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2007SoPh..243...19C], and the [MSSL Science Centre webpage|http://msslxr.mssl.ucl.ac.uk:8080/SolarB/].

The 1" and 2" slits return emission line spectra and a basic task for such data-sets is to fit Gaussians to the emission lines to return intensity, centroid and width information. Gaussian fitting routines available to EIS users are described below. Interpretation of centroids and widths is hampered by certain instrumental effects and these are dealt with in the sections below.
The 1" and 2" slits return emission line spectra and a basic task for such data-sets is to fit Gaussians to the emission lines to return intensity, centroid and width information. Gaussian fitting routines available to EIS users are described below. The routines correct for most instrumental effects, but users should familiarize themselves with some of these effects through the software notes listed below:

!EIS and IDL maps
The set of [IDL map software|http://beauty.nascom.nasa.gov/~zarro/idl/maps/maps.html] of D. Zarro is a popular means for handling solar image data. The situation is more complicated for EIS than imaging instruments as an image can be an intensity, velocity or line width map. EIS maps are generated from EIS data objects as follows (in the case of a velocity map from Fe XII 195.12):
IDL> obj=obj_new('eis_data', filename)\\
IDL> m=obj_new('eis_moment',obj,iwin=195.12)\\
IDL> mmap=m->mk_eis_map(195.12,/vel)
The output mmap is in the standard format accepted by the map software.
To generate an intensity map use keyword /int and for a line width map use /wid. When the 'eis_moment' object is created (step 2) a widget will pop up allowing you to define the spectral region containing the emission line. Moments are used to generate the velocity and line widths which ensures quick results. You can use Gaussian fitting by giving the additional keyword fit='gauss' in step 2 for the eis_moment call.
