Abstract: The Chandra Automatic Processing System (AP) is a set of adaptable components designed to work in various data processing environments. An instance of this system, the Chandra Standard Data Processing System (SDP), performs the day to day processing of the data by observation (levels 0-2). A new system, the Chandra Source Catalog Automatic Processing System (Level 3 AP), is another instance of AP that generates source catalogs. Level 3 AP is different from SDP in many ways, but due to the adaptability of AP, it was put together almost entirely of existing components. This paper describes these adaptable components and the Level 3 AP system through their specific use.
