The IRAC Data Handbook (DH) is the essential technical
reference manual for people working with IRAC data. There are some
ancillary files that may be of interest.

Document Update Plans
We plan to update this document at least on an annual basis
as our understanding of IRAC matures.
Problems in printing/viewing?
- The files above are available in PDF and postscript.
- Some figures may not display well on some monitors, but have printed
satisfactorily in our testing.
- Occasionally the Greek letters (sigma, lambda, pi) embedded in the
document generate errors or are translated into Roman letters (s, l, p).
This is apparently a function of the specific fonts installed on any given
system. We have not successfully found a remedy for this problem, but it
occurred only about 10% of the time in our testing.
- Sorry, we do not have printed copies available at this time.
