Accomplishments
Ongoing Instrumentation support for OCP 2.8
Planning completed for September engineering work.
Contract started for M9b construction.
Testing of DL-NIRSP and ViSP software during bad weather.
Data Center team
Accomplishments
ongoing ingestion and processing of data for OCP 2.8
Completed Cryo-NIRSP trial#8 and released the Cryo-NIRSP pipeline V1.0
Began processing the backlog of Cryo-NIRP data in DC stores. Currently at about 75% through the backlog. Estimated failure rate on pipeline runs is currently about 20-25%, mostly due to missing data or problems with correlations These will be triaged after the runs are completed
updated the quality report generation to allow 1D binning (a mode that DL-NIRSP uses) in PolCal metrics.
Refactored quality metrics code to speed it up. Current DL-NIRSP runs were taking an order of magnitude longer to run than previous instruments.
