Documentation for WSO Data Reductions

One-time set up

Make sure your paths are set up correctly and all directories are mounted
- Top level reduction routines are mostly in ~wso/src/reductions
- Raw data and reductions scripts are in /data/scans subdirectories
- Final data appear in /wso/scans subdirectories
Make sure you have read and write access to the appropriate files and directories
Make sure your umask is set for group read/write permissions
Make sure your .cshrc is set up properly for "DOREDUCTION"
STOP if you have any questions or anything does not work properly

Verify that you are using a color printer
Run 'checkwso' to see which days need to be reduced,
- This provides a list of files that have transferred from the observatory. The first part of each file name is the two-digit month and two-digit day of month.
Execute "Dotel MON DAY" where
- MON is the 3-letter Month (e.g. Jul for July, first letter capitalized)
- DAY is the Pacific Time Day (number 1-31, no leading zero)
Look carefully at the output to see that
- the meanfields and magscans have been listed and the reductions have been successful
- the magscan plots look good
- You can find the reduction scripts in /data/scans/reduction.scripts
- You can remake plots with 'mplots' in ~wso/scripts
IF ANYTHING DOES NOT LOOK RIGHT STOP AND ASK FOR HELP!!! DO NOT PROCEED WITH MORE REDUCTIONS!!
If there are magnetograms
1. Examine plots and set trouble bits as required with 'settrouble'. Alert observer if it looks like there's a systematic error
2. Run Dolev3 if a good magnetogram exists. This updates daily WSO web pages.
