Cover letter

There should be a cover letter with all deliveries.

You can create a PDF letter using the script make_delivery_letter_email.py -f "<JdayFletter> <sensor>", where JdayFletter is the julian day with the flight letter, and sensor is any combination of the following e, h, l, c.

An example command is:

make_delivery_letter_email.py -f "165a ech, 102 eh"

Note this will also create a draft of the email to be sent to the PI. Please read both letter and email carefully before sending.

If you wish to create these yourself ooffice templates can be found in ~arsf/arsf_data/YYYY/delivery/ and details on the contents of the email can be found below.

Data quality report

There should be a hard copy of the data quality report included with all deliveries. Print off the most recent one from ~arsf/doc

Trac and website updating

  1. Update trac ticket for this project:
    1. Add a comment that this data has been delivered (describe what was sent, to whom and when)
    2. Add date of delivery next to sensor name in ticket description.
    3. If this was the final delivery and all sensors have been rsynced back to respository then set ticket to 'archiving'.
  2. Update the Processing status page and set the dataset to "Finished".
  3. Update the page saying who has our disks (if sent on hard disk)... http://rsg.pml.ac.uk/intranet/trac/wiki/Projects/ARSF-DAN/Disk_Locations
  4. Update the status spreadsheet (and record the time the project took you)
