ISO LWS was one of the two ISO instruments able to operate in parallel mode i.e. taking by scientific data while another ISO instrument was active. In parallel mode the LWS diffraction grating remained in a fixed position allowing the spectrometer to act like a 10 channel photometer with bandwidths of 0.3 microns (one resolution element in second order) for the five short wavelength detectors and 0.6 microns (one resolution element in second order) for the five long wavelength detectors. This paper describes the LWS parallel mode and gives details on the data obtained. The paper will also describe the automated processing developed for the parallel mode data and the calibration strategy employed. Areas for further scientific study are proposed and one example will illustrate a sparse coverage map at one wavelength in in the Rho Oph region and a temperature map which was derived from fitting all 10 channels.
