== Semi-raw signal timelines ==
 
 
 
=== HFI timelines ===
 
 
 
Originally defined to be the raw (ADU) data demodulated and converted to engineering units (V) via the HFI transfer functions (includes 3-pt filtering?).  But (1) this is not the same demodulation method as used in the TOI prod pipeline, and (2) the ADC correction (or at least one method thereof) implies a modification of the raw data before demodulation.  Thus what the HFI will deliver is not yet decided

=== HFI processing ===
 
 
 
The calibrated timelines are produced by the ''TOIprod'' pipeline (link to wiki; link to paper) which in brief performs the following operations:
 
# demodulation: this is performed around a variable level which is determined from the valid input data (a validity flat from a previous version of the processing is determined for this purpose), and the data are converted to engineering units (V) using known conversion coefficients.
 
# despiking: using the demodulated data converted to V (by the transfer function) the glitches are identified and fitted with templates.  A glitch flag is produced that identifies the strongest part of the glitches, and a timeline of glitch tails is produced from the template fits, and subtracted from the demodulated timeline from step 1.  Finally, the flagged ranges are replaced with data from TBC ''(is this done here, if not where?)''
 
# conversion to absorbed power: the timeline is converted to watts of absorbed power using the bolometer function.  This includes a non-linearity correction
 
# dark template removal: TBW
 
# removal of the 4K cooler lines: ''please add method''
 
-> at this point a timeline in W and a glitch flag are written to disk
 
# deconvolution by the time transfer function: TBW
 
# jump correction: removes some (relatively rare) jumps in the signal baseline
 
-> at this point a ''taudeconv'' and jump-corrected timeline and its associated glitch flag are written to disk.
 
 
 
Note that these timelines contain the full sky signal, i.e. including the solar and orbital dipoles and the Zodiacal light. The dipoles are necessary for the flux calibration and are removed by the pipeline at the mapmaking stage.

== Pointing timelines ==
 
 
 
The pointing is determined starting from the AHF produced by MOC, which gives the direction and orientation of the LOS of a fiducial position in the focal plane at frequencies of 8Hz during stable pointing and 4 Hz during maneuvers (TBC for details, reference).  This is interpolated to the times of data observation (ref to method), corrected for the wobble and other time-dependent offsets determined from the observed positions of a large number of sources around the sky, and finally converted to the LOS of each detector using the quaternions in the IMO (which are determined from observations of bright planets - see the Focal plane reconstruction pipeline).
