Abstract
MEGARA (Multi Espectrógrafo en GTC de Alta Resolución para Astronomía) is the new optical Integral-Field Unit (IFU) and Multi-Object Spectrograph (MOS) for the 10.4-meter GTC telescope at the Roque de los Muchachos observatory (La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain). We describe in this contribution the Fiber MOS Assignment Tool (FMAT) and the Quick-Look Analysis Tool (QLA). The former enables MEGARA observation preparation both in the MOS and IFU instrument modes and the latter allows data visualization and quality assessment as it comes from the data reduction pipeline.
