Archiving of CLASS-files at Effelsberg
Dec-1-00 / jn,fu


The output files of the online running EFF-program, which produces CLASS compatible calibrated data files, are now archived at Effelsberg. At the moment they are accessible on the VAX computers in the near future on the LINUX data computer.

The archiving method is the following:

  • If a user leaves the OBSe program, he will see a message saying that he can let archive the last CLASS buffer by the operator.
  • The operator uses a procedure ARCHIVE_CLASS, where he optionally can provide a Project-ID.
  • If not, the program uses the last active Project-ID to form the name of the archived file.
  • In the case, the last CLASS buffer has not been archived, the system does that automatically, when the user wants to create a new CLASS buffer entering the OBSe program.
  • The old different CLASS files cl0 to cl7 are in the same way accessible like before.


For the moment the CLASS files can be found on the VAX (eff100) under

$100$DUA0:[CLASS_ARCIVE]
The filenames are a composition of the Project-ID and the date.
