Abstract
Decide whether an exposure should be analysed in the pipeline
1 Instruments/Modes
Instrument Mode
2 Use
pipeline processing yes
interactive analysis no
3 Description
Within the XMM pipeline it is necessary to make a decision a priori whether a given exposure in an
observation should be passed through the normal \scienti c" pipeline.
The task will be called once for each and every exposure in an XMM observation, as the very rst step
in the pipeline analysis. It will provide a simple \go/no go" indication to the pipeline control system
(PCMS) whether the exposure is suitable for passing to the standard pipeline analysis. This decision
is based solely on information readily available from the ODF (via the OAL), for example instrument
mode, lter wheel position (except RGS), exposure duration, etc.
Where exposures are to be ignored by the PCMS, the task will generate an error. This will return a
non-zero exit status to the PCMS, which can then act on this signal and proceed no further with the
analysis of the exposure.
Exposures rejected by exanalyser do not become \invisible", within the pipeline. Data for the unanal-
ysed exposures will be available for use by pipeline tasks should this be required (eg. MOS o set/variance
data exposures). Furthermore output from the summary tasks will still contain information on the un-
analysed exposures.
The current baseline is for exanalyser to reject the following exposures:

 EPIC MOS or pn exposures which are not in a supported mode (see list below)
 EPIC MOS or pn exposures which are not in a supported lter (see list below)
 RGS exposures which are not in a supported mode (see list below)
 OM exposures which are not in a supported mode (see list below)
 OM exposures which are not in a supported lter (see list below)
 Exposures less than 100 seconds in duration
Other, more subtle conditions will doubtless develop as we gain experience with in- ight XMM data.
These extra conditions will be added to exanalyser as they are developed.
In the current version, only the exposure duration condition is implemented, pending an upgrade to the
OAL to read IPPVs. More functionality will be available once the OAL upgrade is available.

5 Errors
This section documents warnings and errors generated by this task (if any). Note that warnings and
errors can also be generated in the SAS infrastructure libraries, in which case they would not be docu-
mented here. Refer to the index of all errors and warnings available in the HTML version of the SAS
documentation.
noExposure (error)
Exposure with speci ed ID cannot be found
badFilter (error)
Exposure should not be analysed (unknown or disallowed lter)
badMode (error)
Exposure should not be analysed (contains data from unknown or disallowed modes)
badDuration (error)
Exposure should not be analysed (exposure duration below threshold)

9 Comments
 The task as described relies on the OAL being able to return the instrument mode (as
distinct from the data mode) for an exposure. If the OAL cannot be used as the source of
this information, the task will have to read the IPPVs from the summary le directly.
