... Meta Index / Home Page / User-visible functionality The OAL provides functionality to expand a pair of two or a tuple of four identifiers into a valid ODF data set name which can then be used to physically open the set, e.g. with the dal open method. The corresponding OAL routine receives a string which is either a valid data set name or of the form . odf(<instr>, <mode>[, <expnr>, <ccdnr>[, scheduledFlag]]) . ... For data sets for which the field is not applicable a value of 0 must be given. ...

... Previous: Filtering KPNO LaTeX Observing Proposals with Perl . ... The Planning and Scheduling Tool was designed allow the user easily to take advantage of all available resources of the four telescopes (LASCO's three coronagraphs and the EIT Telescope) to maximize the use of the telemetry downlink. The Planning Tool allows users to develop customized observing sequences while monitoring compression factors and on-board processing times to realistically work within the limits of the instruments. ...

... For reducing data from ESO instrumentation it is assumed that the FITS headers conform the standards set by the document ``ESO Archive, Data Interface Requirements''. ... As an example, in the ESO case the exposure type is stored in the ESO hierarchical FITS keyword `HIERARCH ESO GEN EXPO TYPE'. ... To fill the CCD keywords with the telescope and instrument setup parameters, like name of the telescope, CCD used, read-out noise, frame size, etc. the command LOAD/CCD can be used. ...
