PIG Status

Jeff/Tyler

• Want feedback on the PIG for the different instruments.

  • Carlos: DEIMOS – no issues. NIRC2 had some issues with split nights, but seems to be working fine. More testing tonight.

  • Jeff/Josh: Known issues with ESI.

  • Jim: ESI will light up yellow to indicate a conflict with observer name, and commit anything else will change observer name.

  • Greg: NIRSPEC working with special subdirectories. No KCWI PIG, not necessary right now.

  • Randy/Jim: We could make OSIRIS work if we wanted, but it would need other changes. PIG could just change PROGNAME.

  • Tyler: OSIRIS PIG is installed and only changes PROGNAME.

PROGNAME and KTL history

Jeff

As long as PROGNAME is there, KOA is happy.

MOSFIRE, EIS, HIRES need PROGNAME keywords.

Josh: Lump MOSFIRE keyword in with migration to linux server

KTL history can be very powerful, but only running for a few instruments. Maybe put into testAll or software startup to make sure that it is running.
