Data Transfer

623 bytes added, 09:27, 9 September 2016
It is possible to specify a specific date to synchronize (-d option), as well as a specific instrument (-i option).
On astro.suth the data is stored under /data/telescopedata. The path to the data then takes the form <telescope>/<inst>/<YYYY>/<MMDD>/. Here the telescope can be one of 74in, 40in or 1m, and the inst is the abbreviated instrument name (one od sha, shd or spupnic). So for example, data acquired by shocnawe on the 74-inch telescope on the night of the 8th/9th of September, 2016, would be in/data/telescopedata/74in/sha/2016/0908. Note: the data is archived on the astro servers using this standard SAAO/SALT data path; some instruments may not yet use this exact directory structure for local (on-instrument) data storage.
