Data Reduction API

The GB Data Reduction Application Programming Interface (API) is a suite of utilities accessible from the command line which are typically used within the boundaries of a data reduction package. A completed package will include:

• AnalysisProcedures

The idea is not to rebuild an entire data reduction package, but to harvest and encapsulate components from GNU Scientific Library, AIPS++ and other packages. The single-dish capabilities that will result will not be tied to a specific output data format, so should be able to be used within or outside the context of an AIPS++ MeasurementSet. For this reason, it could perhaps be viewed as a large scale plugin to AIPS++.
