Hubble Advanced Products API
Drizzlepac has evolved over time from not only being responsible for creating the calibration pipeline drizzled products (i.e., ipppssoot_dr[c|z].fits), but also to being responsible for the generation of the two types of Hubble Advanced Products (HAP). The HAP products are Single Visit Mosaics (SVMs) and Multiple Visit Mosaics (MVMs) and the creation of these products has been incorporated into the calibration pipeline processing. SVM and MVM drizzled products are distingushed from pipeline drizzled counterparts and each other through their filenames, as well as internal contents.
SVM: hst_<propid>_<obsetid>_<instr>_<detector>_<filter>_<ipppssoo>_dr[c|z].fits) MVM: hst_skycell_p<PPPP>x<XX>y<YY>_<instr>_<detector>_<filter>_<label>_dr[c|z].fits)
where PPPP = 4-digit projection cell number XX, YY = 2-digit sky cell numbers
runastrodriz.py is the module to control operation of AstroDrizzle to remove distortion and combine HST images.
runsinglehap.py is the module which controls the SVM processing.
runmultihap.py is the module which controls the MVM processing.
Sucessful code will result in an exit code of 0. If there is an error, the exit code will be non-zero. An exit code of 55 is for data containing only SBC or HRC data, and an exit code of 65 is for “no viable data”.
