Abstract: ISOPHOT is one of the four focal plane instruments of the European Space Agency's (ESA) Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) (Kessler et al. 1996), which was launched on 17 November 1995. The impurity IR-detectors do not behave ideally but show varying responsivity with time. Also the measured signals are affected by detector transients, altering the final results considerably. We present the design and the main features of a software package, developed in order to support the absolute calibration of the instrument. It enables a homogeneous processing and reprocessing of a large amount of calibration observations and provides automatic transient correction and quality flagging. Updates to the data processing method can be immediately applied to the full dataset.
