  1. General Introduction Yves Jung

  2. Pipeline Usage • Automatically in Paranal on a dedicated platform (Instrument Scientist) • Automatic data classification • Automatic association with the calibration data • Requires robustness • Interactively in Garching to deliver properly calibrated data packages (DFO group contact person) • Better calibration data association improves data products quality • Most extensive usage brings most of the feedback • External user once the public release has been achieved • Only possible when the pipeline has been validated • Usually from Gasgano • Recipes need to be clean (no memory leak allowed)

  3. Pipeline Requirements • A recipe should never crash ! • Proper errors handling • Meaningful error message required • No memory leaks allowed ! • Easy to check (use --mem-check esorex option) • Clean code makes it easy to avoid them • A recipe should run faster than the input data exposure time

  4. Pipeline Packages • Dictionaries in iiinstrument-dic-x_y_z.tar.gz • Defines QC keywords: ESO-DFS-DIC.IIINSTRUMENT_QC • Defines raw files header keywords: ESO-VLT-DIC.IIINSTRUMENT_ICS, ESO-VLT-DIC.IIINSTRUMENT_OS, etc… • Configuration and Calibration files in iiinstrument-calibdb-x_y_z.tar.gz • Calibration data for the automatic data reduction in Paranal • Association rules between data and reduction recipes • Configuration files for Gasgano • Data Reduction Package in iiinstrument-x_y_z.tar.gz • Instrument specific data reduction library • Recipes • Pipeline user’s manual (for the public release)

  5. Pipeline Dependencies • FITS IO • Currently QFITS 6.2.0 (http://www.eso.org/projects/aot/qfits) • CFITSIO replaces QFITS from CPL 4.0 on • Common Pipeline Library • Current version 3.1 (http://www.eso.org/cpl) • Version 4.0 planned for October 2007 • Recipes execution • Esorex (currently 3.6.1 from http://www.eso.org/observing/cpl/esorex.html) • Gasgano (currently 2.2.4 from http://www.eso.org/observing/gasgano) • Additional dependencies (See C. Izzo presentation)

  6. Pipeline Template • iiinstrumentp.tar.gz is a pipeline template • Instrument name: IIINSTRUMENT • Recipe name: rrrecipe • Version number 0.0.1 • Implements the standard way of reading keywords, loading and saving data (See S. Castro presentation), … • Can be installed and executed without modification • Should be the starting point for a pipeline project • The Technical Developers manual describes the different parts of the template • The template contains two main subdirectories • iiinstrument/ contains the instrument specific data reduction library • recipes/ contains the recipes (that usually call functions implemented in the library)

  7. First steps • Read the Deliverables Specification for VLT/VLTI Instruments document (VLT-SPE-ESO-19000-1618) • Read the Technical Developers manual (VLT-MAN-ESO-19500-3349) • Install QFITS, CPL, ESOREX, GASGANO, autotools (See R. Palsa pres.) • Unzip/untar iiinstrumentp.tar.gz • Rename iiinstrument, Iiinstrument, IIINSTRUMENT, rrrecipe everywhere (Use a 5 letters name for iiinstrument !!!) • Put the new package under CVS • Follow the development plan with your contact at ESO/SDD/DFS

  8. During the development • Pay attention to the memory handling (See J. M. Larsen presentation) • Follow unit tests procedures (See L. K. Lundin presentation) • Run acceptance tests (See A. Modigliani presentation)
