This workshop will provide an introduction to:
- CASA, especially as required for making ALMA simulations
- The Observing Support Tool (simulations) and CASA simdata
- The ALMA Observing Tool
Priority will be given to those who attended the Community Days in Manchester in December but were unable to fit in the hands-on sessions; however, if there is room, this event is open to anyone. We can also arrange workshops at other institutes, please contact alma@jb.man.ac.uk for details.

Provisional Agenda
Follow the links to instruction pages (more links will appear, please check this page). Please dowload and install CASA and the test version of the OT in advance, and also the data for the examples. Timings are approximate.
In addition, if anyone has other data which they want to try reducing in CASA, or other questions relating to ALMA, some of the ARC staff will be present until about 1730 or later, and will try and assist if possible.
