In this chapter we describe the basic ways in which data can be taken with STIS. Included are descriptions of the operating modes of the STIS CCD and MAMAs, the use of subarrays, taking of time-resolved data, associated exposures in a series, automatic and extra wavecals, fringe flats, the use of patterns and dithering, and fixing the slit orientation on the sky.
