Converting ChIPS Scripts to the New Syntax


The CXC is committed to helping ChIPS users transition to new syntax as smoothly as possible. If you have existing ChIPS scripts or save files, submit them to us via the CXC Helpdesk and we will provide the CIAO 4.0 ChIPS syntax to you.

Please be sure to tell us if you are working in S-Lang or Python, and place the relevant data files on the FTP (FTP Instructions).

Also refer to the CIAO 3 to CIAO 4 Conversion information to see how the new and old syntaxes compare.
