CARTA is the Cube Analysis and Rendering Tool for Astronomy, a new image visualization and analysis tool designed for the ALMA, the VLA, and the SKA pathfinders. The mission of CARTA is to provide usability and scalability in the era of "BIG DATA" by utilizing modern web technologies, latency hiding techniques, and computing parallelization. In this tutorial session, we will introduce practical features in CARTA that may help you for your science cases. We hope through this tutorial, you will learn more about CARTA and make best use of it with your big data, including ALMA image cubes.
