You want to know the EW of a line in absorption or emission, for a single or a whole series of normalized spectra. The spectra are available in fits format. This is done by the script, which you can download here.
Using the script is very easy. After the start you will be asked for the path and the name of the spectrum(s). Enter the name (use wildcards !).
You can enter the wavelength range for which the EW should be calculated in two ways: Interactively by clicking with the left mouse button in the diagram of the first spectrum left and right of the line or alternatively manually by entering the two wavelengths.
A printout is then generated in the console as follows:
Path and name of the spectra (use wildcards) : *
