XCLASS
======

XCLASS is a toolbox containing a couple of new functions for modelling
interferometric and single dish data. The toolbox contains an interface
for the model optimizer package MAGIX (Modeling and Analysis Generic
Interface for eXternal numerical codes), which helps to find the best
description of the data using a certain model, i.e., finding the
parameter set that most closely reproduces the data. Additionally,
the toolbox provides a function to model the data by using the
myXCLASS program. The myXCLASS program models the data by solving
the radiative transfer equation for an isothermal object in one
dimension, whereas the finite source size and dust attenuation are
considered as well. Furthermore, the toolbox contains an interface
for VAMDC (Virtual Atomic and Molecular Data Centre) and the CDMS
(Cologne Database for Molecular Spectroscopy) database.

In the following sections, we will describe how to use the different
XCLASS functions and how to fit single spectra and entire data cubes.
