Those tutorials may be old as some have been captured with older version of Visual Spec, with different user interface.

lesson1	Start with the spectral image and produce your first spectrum, then calibrate the spectral profile regarding to spectra
lesson1 bis	Calibrate your spectrum by using key lines identified by using the spectral type of the star
lesson2	Learn how to compare spectra to detect changes
Lesson3	Use the Element line wavelength library to identify lines in a spectrum
Lesson4	Format the graphic of a profile document
Lesson5	Correct the continuum of a spectrum from the spectral response non-uniformity of the detector
Lesson6	Make measurement on spectral profiles like Line Equivalent Width, Doppler shift
Lesson7	Export, import functions
Lesson8	Import UVES spectrum profile
Lesson9	Fit a Gaussian to a line or a portion of a line
Lesson10	Run script file to link commands
