Next: Instrument Consortium
Up: Construction period
Previous: Instrument Control Responsible
The Data Analysis Specialist implements the
Pipeline. Part of the realisation may be contracted out.
He/she writes the following documents:
- Data Reduction Detailed Design
- Data Reduction Documentation: maintenance guide, user guide,
test procedures.
The data analysis specialist is answerable to the the
instrument responsible. S/he implements and tests:
- instrument description files for the ETCs
- the different pipelines (calibration, reduction, quality control and observatory).
- final version of all reduction recipes, including the ones
provided by consortia. For internal instruments, provides all
reduction recipes.
- develops pipeline reduction recipes and algorithms, constructs the database
and programs the reduction rules. Pipelines will be developed in a
framework independent from any particular data reduction system (based
in particular on Frame and Recipe Signature classes described in the
Data Flow design document [3]). A clear separation between the DFS
and the actual data reduction system will facilitate the
migration to a new system. The implementation of the Recipes
will be based on a data reduction system providing base functionalities
(see Section 6.3).
- Test pipelines robustness and speed, develops imaging simulation.
Imaging simulations and other physical models
will be based on extensions of the framework developed for the creation
of ETCs.
