Paranal date: logical current date for this tool (change of date happens as indicated; this may deviate from 12:00 UT in order to have daytime calibrations sorted under the same date as nighttime science which triggered them)

Instrument information and configuration

This table contains information on how a setup is defined etc.

Number of days scannned: this parameter defines how many days are scanned for science data, starting with the current date.It will usually be in the range 4-10 days.

Range of days for the calibration memory: this number is usually higher than the one before. It defines the depth of the calibration memory, i.e. the number of days scanned for calibration data.

Days in the calibration memory: List of days in the calibration memory.

Result table

Dates with science data are color marked and contain the SM and/or VM flag. Dates without science data receive a column in the result table but no entries.

The column "action required?" contains names of missing calibrations, and a link to the association rules used. The last Setup column lists the setup of missing calibrations.

Data type (Mode):	Setup:
SCIENCE_MED	Medusa1_H525.8B			ok					ok	ok		all ok
	Medusa1_L682.2		ok							ok		all ok
	Medusa1_L881.7	ok					ok	ok			nok [not yet analyzed]	FLAT | WAVE	Medusa1_L881.7
	Medusa2_H525.8B				ok				ok	ok	ok	all ok
	Medusa2_L682.2									ok	ok	all ok
	Medusa2_L881.7					ok	ok	ok	ok			all ok

Data types are defined by mode and setup. Each science data type has one row, each date has one column. These two coordinates define a box which is evaluated by the tool:

ok	available CALIB data are complete and all within the validity time range.
nok	available CALIB data are complete but at least one CALIB file type is outdated. New measurement should be done asap. The corresponding CALIB file type is listed in the rightmost column.
miss	CALIB data are incomplete, at least one CALIB file type is missing. New measurement should be done asap. Missing files are listed in the rightmost column.

Whenever a "missing" calibration is indicated, this is a reminder for obtaining them as soon as possible. Otherwise the corresponding SCIENCE observation may be lost eventually (graded 'C' or 'D').
