Abstract: An important problem in the development of data reduction systems for astronomical instrumentation is to keep track of changes in the hardware configuration: change of filters, optical elements, detector arrays, control software, etc... Data reduction pipelines need to access different calibration tables for data acquired before and after such hardware changes.
In the case of space instrumentation, different qualification models are manufactured and tested on ground. Access to information on the hardware configuration changes for the different models is an additional requirement on robust data reduction pipelines for these projects.
