This page lists several typical examples of EIS studies created for use under the new Hinode data-volume management scheme.
If you want more general guidance about operational restrictions on observing with EIS using the new antenna, then just go over to our Wiki page on [Observing with EIS and the S-band Antenna|SbandObservingInfo].

There are now (as of 2008 Jun 25) almost %%(color:green;)325%% pre-defined studies (including both science and so-called ''engineering'' studies) already available if you want to make observations with EIS.%% \\ \\
The details of each study, such as line list, window size, exposure time, etc. can be accessed online at the [Hinode/EIS website|http://msslxr.mssl.ucl.ac.uk:8080/SolarB/] (MSSL). This is a very powerful tool where you can not only look up a Study by its ID number, but also immediately access all the FITS files created by that study. That way you can take a look at the real data and see whether it's appropriate to what you want to do!
\\ \\ Alternatively you can use the [EIS planning tool|http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/solarsoft/hinode/eis/idl/planning/], which is distributed within [Solarsoft|http://www.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/surf/surfsolarsoft.html].
\\
\\
%%information
To run the EIS Planning Tool, first ensure that you've followed the [guidelines for its set-up|http://msslxr.mssl.ucl.ac.uk:8080/SolarB/PlanningTool_v3.0.jsp].
To make sure that you're pointing at the official studies database (OSDB), first type
\\
{{{print,fix_zdbase(/eis)}}}
\\
The easiest thing to do is to look up a study the website. But to look up a study in SolarSoft just to use the command \\
{{{eis_xstudy}}}
\\
There, you can look at the details of the rasters (i.e. component parts that make up a study).
Go to [EisXstudy] for a walk-through on how to use this interface.

This page lists %%(color:green;)all studies%% created so far for EIS observation, and enables user to view deatils of each study. When planning your own observation with EIS, it is recommanded to choose those suitable studies from the list directly rather than to design your own studies (unless been instructed to do so by EIS team).\\ \\
%%warning
Warning: EIS studies with IDs below #250 should not be used under the new Hinode data-volume regime!
%%
__Tips__: on this page user can click right-side button of each study to search the associated eis fits files (i.e. generated by that study) and have a quick look of thumbnails of the fits files. This may help user to choose the right study and check how the results (eg. intensity, velocity maps) obtained by the study probably like.\\ \\ \\

This page is a summary of EIS %%(color:green;)as-run database%%. It shows how frequently and when a study was run by EIS. It would be useful when you'd like to search popular studies or simply check when/whether your study has been run.\\ \\
__Tips__: user can view the summary based on different targets such as Active Region (%%(color:green;)AR%%), Quiet Sun (%%(color:green;)QS%%), etc, and user can sort the summary by __study ID__ or __running times__.

One thing you'd probably like to have a look is DR allocation table. For example, on 2008/06/21 (Sat):

Here are two examples of expected performance for Active Region (on top) and Quiet Sun (bottom) targets. These are animated GIFs of just a few frames. Reload page if movies are not running. The Fe XXIII spectral window is a blend of several lines. That line in particular is only significant at very high temperatures.
