XMM RPS Users' Manual

   
Producing a postscript version of the proposal

At this time (i.e., when all XRPS forms have been filled in completely and correctly), it is also possible to create a postscript version of the proposal by pressing the ``Postscript Version of Proposal'' button. This allows users to view/print or download to their home sites a postscript version of the proposal. Doing this serves two purposes:

1.

The postscript output provides the user with a control printout for checking inputs once again.

At this point it is still possible to go back to any of the proposal pages to change, add or delete information. The new version of each page must be committed to memory again before proceeding to the next step.

2.

The postscript file serves as the author's copy of the proposal.

It is not foreseen that the XMM SOC will provide proposers with a printed version of their proposal(s).

Note that this PS version of the proposal will contain only the XRPS forms, not the scientific justification (that the user has as a separate file at his/her home site anyway).
