The Data Flow System
Operations Model for VLT/VLTI Instrumentation details the process of
production and operation of the pipelines, quality control, and
instrument models, in order to guarantee the quantitative
predictability and performance control of the instrumentation during
the operations of the VLT Observatory.
Pipeline processing will be available for a subset of the
VLT instrument modes.
Pipeline Systems
The Pipeline Systems performs the standard reduction tasks needed
to produce suitable calibration data, to calibrate science frames, to
support a data quality control as well as to do trend analysis. It is
intended to be executed as much as possible in an automatic mode and
to deliver instrument signature corrected data.
Pipeline processing will be available for a subset of the
VLT instrument modes.
Quality Control and Simulation
The Quality Control system includes the tools used inside and outside
the pipeline environment in order to control the conditions in which
the data have been acquired and processed, in particular the
instrumental and observational conditions. The
Quality Control Library contains a number of main classes to build
these tools.
A number of simulators and calibration database management tools
have been developed to support proposal observing run preparations.
Documentation is available.
