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.
