In this chapter we summarize briefly the basic reductions and calibrations that are performed in the STScI STIS pipeline, and summarize the effects that particular Phase II proposal parameter choices have on calibration. The material in this chapter is intended to provide only enough background to develop robust observing proposals. A recent series of STIS Instrument Science Reports
and the STIS chapters in the HST Data Handbook
provide the more detailed information needed for analyzing your data.
