Requirement Specification for Science Alert Generation Pipeline of the ACADA System

This specification establishes the performance, design, development, test and qualification requirements for the Science Alert Generation (SAG) Pipeline sub-system of the Array Control and Data Acquisition (ACADA) System of CTAO. SAG is the analysis pipeline running on-line that performs a Cat A/quick-look analysis [AD6] of the acquired data and produces data quality indicators, to be exposed to the support astronomer at the control room and transferred to the DPPS and the SUSS. It also serves to generate internal candidate scientific alerts, submitted to the Transients Handler

Requirement Verification for Science Alert Generation Pipeline of the ACADA subystem

This specification describes a plan to conduct requirements verification to assess for the de- sired performance, design, development, test and qualification requirements defined for the Science Alert Generation Pipeline (SAG) sub-system of the Array Control and Data Acqui- sition (ACADA) System of CTAO

Detailed Design Of the Science Alert Generation of the ACADA System

The scope of this document is to provide a detailed design description of the SAG Sub- system of the Array Control and Data Acquisition (ACADA) System that will be operating the instruments at both CTA-N and CTA-S installations. The main audience of this document is the development team that is expected to implement the sub-system. Motivations for the main design decisions taken are provided in connection with requirements and standards. This document describes writing SW design for the SAG sub-system in the context of the ACADA system. Throughout the document, UML is the preferred notation for depicting the component to be designed. The modelling tool used is Sparx Enterprise Architect. Throughout this document, the term “component” is used to refer to anything beyond the level of the system to be designed. A component usually consists of several sub-compo- nents. The main components of the SAG sub-system are: 1) SAG-SUP: Supervisors 2) SAG-RECO: Image Parameter Extractor and Low Level Reconstruction Pipeline 3) SAG-DQ: Data Quality 4) SAG-SCI: High-Level Analysi
