• DVO duplicates investigation:
  • some confusion over DVO IMAGE_ID-EXTERN_ID relationship. Finally got code making sense
  • added nice, safe code to re-create DVO master tables in MySQL
  • ran code, found duplicates, and showed Gene. Appears to be a chip-boundary issue

• ippToPsps coding:
  • all programs now take a single argument: a path to a config
  • rewrote convertPhotCodesToXml.pl to produce VOTable-compliant output
  • a lot of awk scripting to convert old IN data format to VOTable
  • main ippToPsps program can now produce and publish IN batches. Old C and Perl code has be purged. Very satisfying.
  • extra methods for logging class, including some debug messages and a 'title' method
  • now using one, and only one, name for batch types: P2, ST, IN. Changed directory structure for configs accordingly
  • added batch types to config
  • new section for config enabling a list of IDs (cam_id or stack_id) to process (useful for testing)

• documentation
  • lots of new comments for ippToPsps
  • a lot of new documentation for ippToPsps on the wiki. Pretty much up-to-date now

• investigated crazy high fluxes seen in last load to PSPS:
  • changed code to enable processing of a specific exposure (or exposures)
  • found smfs with crazy PSF_INST_MAG values (i.e. < -20)
  • implemented a cut for PSF_INST_MAG < -17.5, as recommended by Gene
