Appendix E: Naming Conventions

For the file names used within the ISO pipe-line software naming conventions were agreed. The files name structures relevant for PHT Interactive Analysis will be given below. For additional details or information about the files used by other instruments, please refer to the ISO Data Product Document. In addition to the files described in the IDPD, PIA generates certain products for PHT internal use. The naming conventions for these files are also given here. The general structure for all ISO products is a Prefix indicating the file type, followed by a unique number (composed of the revolution number and a counter) identifying the products within the archive and the timeline of the ISO mission, followed by the extension .fits indicating that the file complies with the Flexible Image Transport standard.

Table 1 lists the prefixes of all data files used by PIA as well as their origin, i.e. whether they are generated by the general ISO pipeline software (OLP) or whether they are generated by PHT Interactive Analysis Software (PIA). If both PIA and OLP are indicated, this means that PHT Interactive Analysis is capable of generating a product with the a data structure identical to the pipeline. In this case, the header of the file will inform the user about the origin.

Table 2 gives a survey of all calibration files (CAL-G) used by the PHT Interactive Analysis Software. In principle, these files are identical to the Calibration G files as used by the PHT Pipeline Software, but unlike the pipeline, PIA is also capable of generating and writing these files. The file pht_fm.idb_def is a special conversion file to convert PHT Housekeeping information. It is used by PIA and QLA/RTA for this purpose and does not follow the fits standard, but has a dedicated format.

Table 3 lists all Up-link Tables (CAL-U) that can be generated by PHT Interactive Analysis Software. Please note that the ISO Uplink Tables and not FITS files, but ASCII files that follow the o specification given in "Instrument Team to Science Operations Team Interface Control Document (ICD-01)". These files have the extension .txt and not .fits. The Uplink Tables not given in this list are not maintained using PIA, but are either static or are updated using a standard text editor and configuration control procedures.

Table 4 contains a list of all RTA/QLA calibration files (CAL-Q) generated by PHT Interactive Analysis. The CAL-Q files do not follow the FITS standard. Only RTA/QLA files generated and maintained via PIA are listed here. The other configuration files of this software system are handled via special dedicated editors or configuration control procedures which are not part of this manual.

Table 5 contains a list of files tiused PIA to administer the various internal calibration data bases and auxiliary files used by PHT Interactive Analysis.
