CAA – 1st Operations Review/ESTEC Noordwijk – 16.-17.5.2006 The RAPID CAA Team structure S. Mühlbachler: CAA contact check and verify correct production procedures with CAA Team Development of IDL software for data analysis for CAA users Data analysis for calibration CAA-Documentation P. W. Daly (PI): PI software incl. calibration, sci2caa subroutines J. Davies: IES cross calibration activites CAA – 1st Operations Review/ESTEC Noordwijk – 16.-17.5.2006

CAA – 1st Operations Review/ESTEC Noordwijk – 16.-17.5.2006 AI‘s from implementation review Data products should be finalized. Extended and diagnostic products for expert users have been specified in the ICD and 1st set is to be released in September. Get together with CIS&PEACE, and homogenize data products. IES cross calibration has been started by J. Davies from RAL IIMS cross calibration is pending release of new calibrations CAA – 1st Operations Review/ESTEC Noordwijk – 16.-17.5.2006

CAA Science Data Products All major data products (3D and omnidirectional ions and electrons) are to be delivered as . . . differential fluxes, using best current calibration data; given in 1/(cm2 s sr keV) (I3DD_H, I3DD_He, I3DD_CNO, HSPCT, ISPCT_He, ISPCT_CNO, IPADEX E2DD, E3DD, L3DD, ESPCT, EPADEX) counts per sec, as the raw data set for experts; (I3DD_H_R, I3DD_He_R, I3DD_CNO_R, HSPCT_R, ISPCT_He_R, ISPCT_CNO_R, IPADEX_R E2DD_R, E3DD_R, L3DD_R, ESPCT_R, EPADEX_R) Including: Standard deviations Quality Flag (currently set to 1) Accumulation time (for counts per sec) CAA – 1st Operations Review/ESTEC Noordwijk – 16.-17.5.2006

CAA Diagnostic Products Caveats Instrument settings (Inst_set) For expert users („RAPID insiders“): DE, PED_NM, PED_BM, PEDPOS_NM, PEDPOS_BM, HK 6 hour summary plots for diff. flux and count rates as png or pdf – one plot per sc incl. ESPCT, HSPCT, ISPCT_He, ISPCT_CNO and instr. settings CAA – 1st Operations Review/ESTEC Noordwijk – 16.-17.5.2006

PI Software & CAA Data Production chain Problems: Compiler differences on different platforms, in particular between Win32 and Linux caused a couple of inconsistencies between files produced at CAA machines and Lindau machines. These problems could be fixed and the code is now more robust. Analysis of RAPID data of the first years lead to a necessity of revision of several calibration procedures and thus some reprogramming of the PI software. Calibrations affect: The software update was finished in autumn 2005. However, testing takes a lot of time and thus current released data have „old“ calibrations (no bad data but they could be better!). Summary Plots raw data Housekeeping data msfgen MSF (binary) Calibration File msf2sci SCI (ASCII) CEF templates sci2caa CEF (ASCII) directional efficiencies of ion measurements, energy thresholds of hydrogen and helium, IES background analysis, a detailed determination of pedestal positions and spectral corrections Caveats Instrument Settings Geometry factors CAA – 1st Operations Review/ESTEC Noordwijk – 16.-17.5.2006

Data Visualization Software System requirements: Unix or WIN32 operating system IDL 5.4 or newer pdf-writer Tools: Quicklook plots for omnidirectional fluxes or count rates as energy spectra vs. time incl. instrument settings Line plots – fluxes or counts rates of energy channels vs. time pitch angle distributions Pitch angle distributions 3D angle-angle plots Eight panels, which the user can define chosing one of the first three items per panel CAA – 1st Operations Review/ESTEC Noordwijk – 16.-17.5.2006
