Why do we need instrument simulators?
ADASS XVII - September, 20073
Why do we need instrument simulators?
Increasing scale and complexity of telescopes and instruments with time
ADASS XVII - September, 20074
Why do we need instrument simulators?
Increasing scale and complexity of telescopes and instruments with time
We need to know how design and construction changes may potentially affect the science we can do with the instrument

Why do we need instrument simulators?
Increasing scale and complexity of telescopes and instruments with time
We need to know how design and construction changes may potentially affect the science we can do with the instrument
Development of data reduction and analysis software requires test data

Why do we need instrument simulators?
Increasing scale and complexity of telescopes and instruments with time
We need to know how design and construction changes may potentially affect the science we can do with the instrument
Development of data reduction and analysis software requires test data
An understanding of the data products will help in designing effective calibration strategies

An understanding of the data products will help in designing effective calibration strategies
Synthetic data products are an effective communication tool in a distributed scientific and engineering environment

JWST-MIRI MRS
• 4 spectral channels (5 – 28 microns)
• FoV 3.70x3.70arcsec – 7.74x7.93 arcsec
• Spectral resolution ~3000
• One IFU slicer per channel
• All channels are observed simmultaneously
• Dichroic filters divide each IFU channel into 3 sub-bands
• Data from pairs of channels are captured on two 1024x1024 pixel detectors
