LOAD/CCD [intr]

Purpose:    
	Load intrument/detector specifications into the CCD context
\up\sy
Syntax:     
        LOAD/CCD [instr]
\ys\pa
        instr = Name of the instrument/detector combination for which the 
                default parameters will be loaded into the CCD context.
                The settings are read from the table eso_specs.tbl that, in
                case it does not exist, will be created in your directory. 
\ap\no
Note:       
        At start-up the CCD context creates keywords that will contain 
        instrument and detector specifications parameters. However, at 
        initialisation of the CCD context these keywords are not filled yet. 
        The LOAD/CCD takes care of that by copying the default parameters 
        for a specific telescope/instrument combination from a MIDAS table
        into the CCD keyword. These values will to be used as default values 
        during the CCD reduction.\\
\\
        The parameters for ESO instrumentation are stored in the MIDAS table
        eso_specs.tbl. A copy of this table is stored in the user's working 
        directory. If you want to change the numbers or to add more entries 
        to this MIDAS table you can use the MIDAS table editor or other table 
        commands.

Examples:
\ex
        LOAD/CCD eso_susi
        Load the instrumental specs for the ESO susi instrumental into the
        keyword structure.
\xe\ex
        LOAD/CCD my_susi
        Load the (personal) instrumental specs for the susi instrumental into 
        the keyword structure. The entry ``my_susi'' must be present in the
        eso_specs table in the user's working directory.
