ELT ICS Data Interface Tools (DIT)¶
Introduction¶
The ELT ICS Data Interface Tools, for short “DIT”, provide utilities to handle
- Data Interface Dictionaries (DID).
- FITS files.
For former, the following utilities are provided by DIT:
- C++ library to load and use DIDs from C++ programs (from 2018).
- A number of DIDs, providing keyword definitions of common interest (from 2018).
- A DID Editor (GUI) to create and modify DIDs (foreseen 2019+).
- A WEB interface to allow browsing all DIDs in use at ESO (foreseen 2019+).
Latter provides a library providing convenience functions to create FITS files, supported by the DID keyword definitions.
