 Description   

To my understanding, ets_fiberalloc is supposed toi output pfsDesign files in FITS format. To achieve this, I plan to

  • have ets_fiberalloc import pfs.datamodel for easy creation of these files
  • put all information I have currently available into these files.

But there are large parts of the file, like "tract", "patch" and everything flux-related, which I can only fill with dummy values.

There have been no complaints about incomplete FITS files for more than two years, so I assume that the production of files that are only partially filled is OK.
The current philosophy seems to be that every software component fills the part of the file it is responsible for, leading to a complete data product at the end of the chain.

Dear Kiyoto,

please let us know if you agree with my impression that the fiber allocator actually does not have to fill every field of its output FITS file. If you agree, this issue can be closed.

Thanks,
Martin

Thank you, Martin. Yes, a script to generate pfsDesigns file is responsible for some fields in the design files, which was actually used in the past engineering runs without any problems (as far as I know). So, we can close this issue.
