Description
EMIR (Espectrógrafo Multiobjeto Infrarrojo) is a wide-field,
near-infrared, multi-object spectrograph, with image capabilities, which
will be located at the Nasmyth focus of GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias).
It will allow observers to obtain many intermediate resolution spectra
simultaneously, in the nIR bands Z, J, H, K. A multi-slit mask unit will
be used for target acquisition. This paper shows an overview of EMIR
Data Factory System which main functionality is to receive raw images
from DAS (Data Acquisition system), collect FITS header keywords, store
images to database and propagate images to other GCS (GTC Control
System) components to produce astronomical data. This system follows the
standards defined by the telescope to permit the integration of this
software on the GCS. The Data Factory System needs the DAS, the
Sequencer, GUI and the Monitor Manager subsystems to operate. DAS
generates images and sends them to the Data Factory. Sequencer and GUI
(Graphical User Interface) provide information about instrument and
observing program. The Monitor Manager supplies information about
telescope and instrument state.
