This is the Web-based interface for Chris Hirata's Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope Galaxy Survey Exposure Time Calculator, wfGSETC (previously known as the Dark Energy Performance Calculator, wfDEPC).  The Calculator is intended for use in optimizing the Roman Space Telescope hardware and observing strategy. It runs in four different modes: Gravitational Weak Lensing (WL), Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), Spectral Continuum (SPCONT), and Photometric Red Shift Calibration Survey (PZCAL). In each case, it uses known galaxy properties to predict limiting magnitudes and statistical properties (e.g. number counts or redshift distribution) of sources that could be detected by Roman Space Telescope (and resolved, in the case of WL).

For a full explanation of the functionality, including the version history, see the wfGSETC Reference Manual.
