LIST FILES

In the SM data package directory you will find the following listings:
   
FILE CONTENT WHERE
ServiceMode.html this file top
product_codes.html a table describing the naming scheme for product files top
README.html short additional information top
 
archive_<RUN_ID>.txt list of all proprietary files (SCIENCE, attached CALIBs) as read from the archive GEN_INFO
qc0_<RUN_ID>.txt log containing the comparison between the constraint set (airmass, moon distance, etc) and the actual values GEN_INFO
 
NIGHTLOG.html set of html files with nightlog and OB information GEN_INFO/ObservingReports
 
list_sciRaw_<OBS_ID>.txt
summary of the fits files in each directory (these files are provided in text [*.txt] and PostScript format)  <OBS_ID>/sci_raw
list_sciProc_<OBS_ID>.txt
summary of the fits files in each directory (these files are provided in text [*.txt] and PostScript format)  <OBS_ID>/sci_proc
list_calRawGen_<TYPE>.txt
summary of the fits files in each directory (these files are provided in text [*.txt] and PostScript format) , where <TYPE>=BIAS,FLAT,WAVE,STD GEN_CALIB/raw/<TYPE>
list_calProcGen_<TYPE>.txt
summary of the fits files in each directory (these files are provided in text [*.txt] and PostScript format) , where <TYPE>=BIAS,FLAT,WAVE,STD GEN_CALIB/proc/<TYPE>

The executable script print_all_reports under GEN_INFO/scripts will print all ps files in your package.


Archive summary file: archive_<RUN_ID>

While the above listings are about files on the DVDs, the archive summary listing is the result of a query to the ESO Archive. It is useful as a check on the completeness of the ServiceMode package. All files created by OBs which have been generated by the PI are listed here. The list includes all SCIENCE files, and the attached calibrations, and acquisitions, if applicable. This list is the result of a query to the archive.

QC0 summary file: qc0_<RUN_ID>

This file contains a report of quality control parameters ('QC level 0' where level 0 stands for Quality Control without pipeline processing) for your raw SCIENCE files. These parameters are airmass, seeing, moon distance, and fractional lunar illumination. They have been measured on site (column 'msrd'). They are compared to the required values as defined in your OBs ('targt') and flagged (OK/NOK).

The list is intended to give a rough indication of whether or not the required constraints have been obeyed. They should not be interpreted in a too formal way, however. E.g., there may be cases where the seeing was worse than required, but this was compensated by a longer exposure time. Check the night reports for details.

Note that the seeing values reported here are DIMM seeing values, they are not measured on the frame. If the alarm flag ("NOK") is set in the SEEING column, the DIMM seeing value was larger than your seeing constraint during the indicated obseration. However, in many cases, the delivered seeing in the instrument focal plane is better than the DIMM seeing. Whenever possible, the on-site observer has measured the focal plane immediately after execution to determine the success or failure of your observation. Thus, your observation may have been completed within your specifications, even if the SEEING alarm flag is set. Please review the affected observation carefully.

Night logs and OB logs

This is a set of html files with an extraction of night log information and OB information. All relevant information about the nights contained in your package is included, as well as information about each OB in your delivery.

Point your browser to GEN_INFO/ObservingReports/NIGHTLOG.html and navigate either per night (labeled as 1) or per OB (2).

The html files also come as stripped-down, printer-friendly versions. The files are organized to have a summary on top, and details below. The OB summary replace the previously delivered OB summary files.

You can use either the navigation bar to jump to a specific night/OB, or use the up/down arrows (night logs only) to browse sequentially. The OB navigation bar uses colour coding to give you a quick impression about OB grading.

There are additional links to ambient condition information.

NOTE:

  • The external links (asm: seeing, sky transparency etc.) will only work with network connection.
  • The asm links require java-enabled browsers.
  • The navigation bars read best with style-sheets and java-enabled browsers.
