Nature of problem:
SPECTRA generates synthetic, frequency ordered spectra as a function of temperature. Absolute intensities can be calculated if the necessary data to calculate the partition function is supplied.

Solution method:
Transitions are sorted by frequency and weighted using Boltzmann statistics.

Restrictions:
The complexity of the problem that can be solved by other programs in the suite.

Unusual features:
Most data is read directly from DIPOLE3. Some data from DVR3DRJZ and ROTLEV3 or ROTLEV3B may also be required.

Additional comments:
SPECTRA forms part of the DVR3D suite of programs. The complete suite is catalogued under the identifier ADTI. The tar.gz file for ADTI contains sample input and output data which can be used to test all the programs in the suite.

Running time:
Case dependent, but very small for sample data.
