I have all SOXS FITS header keywords now getting added to the SQLite data-organiser database (I have generalised the code to process X-shooter and SOXS).

I am now at the point where I need to filter the calibration/science frames uniquely into their various sets (bias, darks, flats, order-centre tracing etc). I have found this is not yet possible with the values currently set by the data-controller. I have put in following change requests to Davide:

• For SOXS spectral data, we should be using ECHELLE in DPR.TECH instead of SPECTRUM as the principal value (see Table 11 or Data Interface Control Document):

  

• Can we use the second qualifier in DPR.TECH to state the type of 'slit' being used?

  so ECHELLE,SLIT, ECHELLE,PINHOLE or ECHELLE,MULTI-PINHOLE

  This will move the observation mode to the third qualifier in DPR.TECH (if needed), e.g.

  ECHELLE,SLIT,NODDING, ECHELLE,SLIT,STARE or ECHELLE,SLIT,OFFSET

  This will allow me to distinguish each calibration/science uniquely from just the DPR keywords.

• For the DPR.TYPE, when observing an ARC lamp, we should be using LAMP,WAVE and not STD,WAVE

I had a call with Davide, and he has agreed to the changes. Davide is onboarding a colleague who is going to make the changes in the instrument control software and then reissue the template FITS headers to test with the data organiser.

There are still a few niggles to iron out with the ICS templates (lamps etc). But the data organiser is now in good shape to organise SOXS data.
