BeppoSAX Archive
- Data distribution to users via a FOT (binary files not FITS)
- The BeppoSAX Science Data Center set-up a pipeline for the NFI
- translate the FOT data in FITS
- create screened events and high level products (all FITS)
- The pipeline uses the SAXDAS software package implemented originally for the LECS (ESA-SSD) and MECS (BeppoSAX SDC).
- SAXDAS upgraded to process PDS (Jun 97) & HPGSPC (Dec 99)
- The results of the NFI pipeline are in the public archive
- Archive opened in February 1998
- Each sequence contains the LECS and MECS data. PDS & HPGSPC are included in 90 % & < 10% of the sequences respectively.
