NPIPE preprocessing

NPIPE preprocessing applies to one detector at a time. It begins with loading the entire detector data set into memory and ends with writing the processed data into a file. While in memory, raw timelines are approximately calibrated, jump-corrected and flagged. Pointing periods (rings) with anomalous statistics are flagged as unusable. LFI preprocessing requires two iterations: the first iteration optimizes the sky-load differencing parameters and the 1-Hz spike templates; and the second iteration applies these and other corrections. HFI processing includes cosmic-ray glitch removal and bolometric transfer-function deconvolution.

Below are schematics of both sub pipelines. The diagrams are reproduced from A&A 643, A42 (2020) and the numbers in brackets refer to section numbers in that paper.
