Sometimes the instrument specialists give us new calibrations. Usually just a dead strip list for TKR, 3 (asym, MeV/DAC, peds) at a time for CAL. They need to be put in a standard place, registered in the calibration DB, and set active. This requires picking a time when validity switches from the previous set to the new one. We want this to happen between runs. The gaps between non-SAA runs are short, and CALDB doesn't do leap seconds, so I put the transitions near the middle of an SAA passage - the first one after the last run that we have data for.
Step-by-step guide
- Copy files to the "normal" place (if the instrument people haven't already):
- TKR: $LATCalibRoot/TKR
- CAL: $LATCalibRoot/CAL/p7repro
- Figure out the transition time:
- Go to the data processing page.
- Find the most recent run. It will be at the top, unless deliveries have arrived out of order.
- Click on the run number.
- Note the start time.
- Go to the mission planning timeline
- Go to the data processing page.
