| | 8 | This past week, we have mostly been working to ensure the regular data processing is continuing smoothly. We started off the Demo Month very smoothly, and processed the first two nights without trouble. We were missing the processing for stack-stack diffs, and had several false starts in an attempt to get them running. The first attempt resulted in a large number of duplicate analysis runs on the same data. We spent some time on Tuesday recovering from that, and it took a few attempts before stack-stack diff data finally started to flow to the consortium. |

| | 10 | In addition to the nightly processing, we have been working to process older data as well. The data from the period Jan 14 (which we call 'Run 5c') to the start of Demo Month is exactly the same in terms of camera configuration as the Demo Month data, and therefore may be processed without any magic concerns. We initiated the 3pi data from that period to run alongside the nightly processed data. We now have a mechanism where by extra data sets can be included in the automatic processing for the under-used periods, and ignored for the periods when the nightly science data is available and should take priority. For data in the period Dec 9 - Jan 14 ('Run 5b'), the camera has some minor changes (biastool). We ran a test set to check on the 'streakies' from this period, specifically to test which cells should be corrected. We concluded that the streakies seem to be very similar to (perhaps slightly better than) those from the Run 5c period. To play it safe we have decided to apply the same rules for Run 5b as Run 5c -- we need to check that this is acceptable with Paul Sydney before processing and releasing large amounts of Run 5b data. |
