| Abstract: |
We present some extensions which were added to the Herschel Common Software
System (HCSS) for processing and analyzing observations of the
PACS instrument (Poglitsch et al. 2010) on the Herschel Space Observatory
(Pilbratt et al. 2010). PACS users and developers worked closely together
to improve the user experience when interactively analyzing observations, in
such a way that user friendly scripts can be shared with the pipeline for
systematic processing. In this way we can easily keep the pipeline up-to-date
with user contributed improvements.
The most important goals of these improvements are: (1) Hide all the
administrative work done in pipeline tasks (such as handling meta data) from the
user; (2) Make sure that all tasks can be run step-by-step, even if loops over
several products are needed (such loops are all hidden inside the pipeline
tasks); (3) Provide convenience tools to deal with observations which are split
into many parts (which we call slices). |
