Transferring data from optical disk to tape

The UV-data are stored on optical disks. The optical drives are connected to the VAX, so we first have to read the data on this machine before we can store them on our own workstation. The NEWSTAR software also runs on the VAX so we can use the program NSCAN to copy the data to DAT tape. This tape will be used as our personal archive, so we don't have to read from optical disk every time.
