Results of an analysis of the spectral data reduced by the CASPEC instrument are reported. In the wavelength calibration performed by CASPEC calibration lines are identified according to a detection criterion which is based on line-width and the intensity above the background. In the commissioning phase nine spectra of 4 velocity standard stars are reduced using the standard procedure in the Munich Image Data Analysis System (MIDAS) of the ESO. The procedures followed by CASPEC for reducing a flat-field CCD image is described. As an example, two extracted orders from a 25 min. exposure of the 12.1 visual magnitude star LTT 3864 are presented.
