That testing has already been partly done in the SOC. The commitment was made despite limited dedicated H/W resources and despite the fact that the SOC does not have specific expertise for the Mac system.Īfter facing and solving a lot of difficulties, to a large extent related to third party S/W on Mac, we have been able to produce a SAS 6 ('6.1 alpha') version for final scientific validation testing. This reflected the high interest in such a version, expressed especially by the U.S. The SAS maintenance and development team at the XMM-Newton SOC committed, some time ago, to produce a SAS version for running on MacOS. The SAS team are very pleased to announce the release of a MacOS version of SAS 6.
