Boa Web Site
This site containt information on a project to build a bolometer array data reduction, analysis, and handling software package, the Bolometer data Analysis (BoA) Project.
This new software shall be used for data obtained with the bolometer arrays at the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment (APEX) telescope, at the IRAM 30m telescope and at the Heinrich-Herz Telescope (HHT). BoA shall include most of the functionalities of the current reduction packages MOPSI and NIC, in a programming environment which is easier to modify, maintain, and re-use. Unlike the current packages, BoA shall naturally interface with an observation management and calibration database, and it shall aide well in hardware commissioning and debugging.
BoA is a collaborative effort of the Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie (MPIfR) Bonn and the Astronomisches Institut der Ruhr-Universität Bochum (AIRUB), and invites participation by all interested parties.
Progress
It is possible to have a look to a [http://www.astro.uni-bonn.de/~abeelen/boa.html Gantt Chart] describing the progress made on the developpement of BoA
Installation FAQ
If you have problems with the installation of BoA, you should first have a look to the [:BoA/Installation:Installation FAQ].
Quick User Guide
You can find a [:Documentation/Boa Quick User Guide:Quick User Guide] to help user to reduce their data
White Board
There is also a [:Documentation/Boa White Board:White Board] where you can simply collect information about BoA.
