... In order to realize the optimal scientific return from the VLT, ESO has undertaken to develop an end-to-end data flow system from proposal entry to science archive. The VLT Data Flow System (DFS) is being designed and implemented by the DFS Group (ESO Internal access only) in collaboration with VLT Division and Instrumentation Division . ... VLT Control System Interface . ... OBs are the quantum of data that flows within the DFS, collecting state, data and status information as they flow. ...

SAOtng supports FITS files internally, so that a standard FITS image file can be sent directly to SAOtng for display using XPA: xpaset SAOtng Also, when a new file name is sent to SAOtng, the program checks the first 2880 bytes of the file to see if it is a FITS file and if so, processes it accordingly. Support for other image file formats (or any other image format) is added to SAOtng by writing two external file access programs: . ... The command-line of the image section program . ...

... Instruments are more complicated than star catalogs, but a MIDAS table file is still useful for holding the description of an instrument. ... The main sub-table contains information about the passbands used, and the second sub-table describes the detector(s). ... Basic data for an instrument file include the passbands used (and any coding that is used to represent them in the data); the detectors used, and their properties; and general information about temperature control and optical cleanliness. ...
