| Abstract: |
We have developed a GUI-based user interface for Chandra data processing automation, data quality evaluation, and control of the system. This system, known as the Telemetry Tracker 9000 (TT9), allows dynamic interaction and monitoring of all operational tasks, including automated data quality evaluation, quicklook generation, submission to archival processing, realtime data flow, and reporting metrics in a single multi-tab GUI. A MySQL database serves as a backend for this system enabling identification of anomalies, unusual acquisition situations, as well as tracking statistics. Automated threshold checking of incoming data quality and error detection with pager notification are features of TT9, which has greatly reduced staffing requirements and minimized operator error. TT9 is a flexible interface around the archival data processing system that can be modified easily to accommodate changes in the operational constraints of the instruments, spacecraft, and ground system. The modular design allows new data processing tasks to be automated and interfaced with additional GUI Tabs. |
