Infomation about OT Hands-on sesssion

 OT Hands-on session is optional session. Those who want to join to this session, please be in the Subaru Large seminar room at the start time. Here some instructions for the Town meeting related to the hands-on session.

Please install the Observing Tool (OT) and test it in your laptop before coming. The OT can be downloaded at:
  Observing Tool: https://almascience.nao.ac.jp/proposing/observing-tool
 Note that the OT requires that a Java Runtime Environment be installed on the user’s machine. This can be downloaded from https://java.com. Currently, the OT will only work using Java 8 (64bit). Java 9 has recently been released, but this should not be used as we have recently received reports that this contains bugs which prevent the Web Start version of the OT from functioning.

We will accept indivisual questions about observation setting for your proposal. If you have a quastion, please feel free to contact ARC staff member during this session. Several staff member are walking around the session room.
