DAOEDIT is a general purpose tool for interactively examining and editing the DAOPHOT algorithm parameters located in the parameter sets DATAPARS, FINDPARS, CENTERPARS, FITSKYPARS, PHOTPARS, and DAOPARS. These five parameter sets can be be listed, edited, and/or unlearned as a group from within DAOEDIT using the IRAF lpar, epar and unlearn utilities. Any parameter in each of these five parameter sets can be examined or edited individual using a simple command. Parameters which are defined in terms of radial distance from the center of a star or in terms of image counts can be examined and edited interactively using radial profile plots and the graphics cursor.

1. Setup the daophot package parameters interactively for the image m92. This example assumes that the parameters are all initially at their default values.

	da> display m92 1
	da> daoedit m92
	    ... type :e datapars to edit the data dependent parameters
	    ...	leave scale at 1.0 and datamin at INDEF but edit the
	        datamax, readnoise, epadu, exposure, airmass, filter,
		and obstime parameters
	    ... type :l datapars to check the results of the editing
	    ... type :e findpars to check the object detection parameters
	    ... change the findpars threshold parameter from 4.0 to 5.0
		using the command :threshold 5.0
	    ... select a bright non-saturated star and check that its
		radial profile is normal using the r keystroke command
	    ... note the value of the standard deviation of the sky
	        background written in the plot header
	    ... set the datapars sigma parameter to this value using
		the command :sigma 
	    ... type i to enter the interactive setup menu
		set the fwhmpsf, sigma, inner radius of the sky annulus,
		width of the sky annulus, photometry aperture(s), psf
		radius, and fitting radius using the radial profile
		plot and graphics cursor
	    ... check the centering, sky fitting, photometry, and psf
		fitting parameters with the commands :l centerpars,
		:l fitskypars, :l photpars, and :l daopars
