The LFI DPC is organized into different "Levels":
 
 
* Level-1, which scope is principally to analyze the data in a daily base and trasforma the telemetry packets in to timelines in enginnering value.
 
 
* Level-2, start with the output of the Level-1, apply the differetiation, combine the diode and remove at timeline level the systematics that has been identified. It is too responsible to compute the instrument attitude and then compute the detector pointing. Scientific timelines are then calibrated in K_CMB unit and are the input to the MapMaker. Maps at frequency leveland varios combination are the principal output .
 
 
* Level-3, is a COMMON level between the DPC , it takes as input the maps produced at Level-2 and then transforms these maps at specific frequencies into more scientific products, like catalogues, maps and spectra of astrophysical components.
 
 
* Level-S, is the COMMON simulation software used to validate all the algorithms used in the process.
