All raw files carry the FITS keyword 'HIERARCH ESO OBS PROG ID'. Depending on the content of this keyword, several cases are distinguished concerning the distribution of files in the Service Mode package:
The following naming schemes are relevant for files in the Service Mode package:
The association of raw files of different types (CALIB and SCIENCE), as well as of raw files and data products, is a non-trivial task given the amount and complexity of data types in many SM packages. To support in this task, we have created the list files which you find in each data directory.
In general, the logical link between raw files and product files (both SCIENCE and CALIB) is given in the HIERARCH ESO RAW fits header keywords. In addition a *.calib file is provided, in case the data reduction was carried out using calibration products. Each Service Mode package contains a <PROG.ID>_assoc.txt file showing the associations of the master calibrations files with the reduced and raw science frames.
General policy of data distribution.
Do I have to submit a request to receive my Service Mode data package?
Service Mode programmes are declared completed by the Users Support Group. This signal is sent to the Data Flow Operations Group which then prepares the NACO package. The data are copied onto CDs/DVDs and sent to the PI as soon as possible.
When can I expect to receive my NACO data package?
In total this chain of events is finished on average four-six weeks after the last frames have been measured.
General information about ServiceMode Observing is available.
Under which conditions will my data be reduced?

How can I handle fits header extensions ?
NACO science fits files consist of three parts, the main file and two image extensions. The usual way to specify an indiviudual extension is to append the '[<n>]' to the file name (e.g. NACO.2003-01-01T12:13:14.123.fits[2]). ESO-MIDAS (from Version Sep02 on) users will use commands like 'help [Filename]' and 'indisk/mfits' to handle NACO fits frames or display it via 'load/ima NACO.<timestamp>.fits[1]'. eclipse users do not have to handle the extensions separately. iraf users will use 'display NACO.<timestamp>.fits[0]' when using SAOimage. The RTD and SkyCat can be called with the normal filename 'rtd -file NACO.<timestamp>.fits' and all extensions are shown in a separate pop-up.
