Download CALDB 3.4.5


Latest Update: 23 June 2008

CALDB 3.4.0 or higher is required for the proper operation of CIAO 4.0.

The CALDB is a fully functional, fully indexed, updated version of the same CALDB that is used in Chandra standard data processing (SDP); it includes all the calibration files required by CIAO. As explained in the README, the CALDB must be set up in a directory that is accessible from where CIAO will be used.

For more information on the CALDB, including installation instructions, visit the CALDB website. Details on this release in particular are available from the CALDB 3.4.5 Release Notes.
