Abstract
The Far-infrared Interferometer Instrument Simulator, FIInS, is an instrument simulator for a Far-infrared Spectro-Spatial Interferometer. The main goal is to simulate both the input and the output of such a system, and compare the input sky map with the synthesised one after data processing algorithms have been applied. With a modular design, intermediate outputs are also available. In this chapter the different modules created to build FIInS are described, from the sky map generator to the raw data on the detectors module.
