SnooPI

The Snooping Project Interface (SnooPI) is a software tool that allows PIs, Co-Is and Delegees to track the observational and processing status of their ALMA science projects. SnooPI is available through the link below (just click the button) and will open in a separate window or tab. A link to the User Manual is available from within the application and here. 

 

 

 

Bug fixes and new features of the OBOPS-2021.12 release:

- QA0+ results are now available for PIs from SnooPI in the QA0 report, which can be found in the SB detailed view. QA0+ results are only to be used as a guide to assess the data quality, and are not for scientific use.

 

Older updates:

OBOPS-2021.08 release

- The EB summary can now be exported in machine readable form.
- SBs can now be sorted by additional quantities/properties, such as band, array, first execution and last execution.

OBOPS-2021.04 release

- The Weblog of each delivered MOUS can be downloaded by the PI/Co-PI or CoIs.
- Some EBs are labelled as “QA0 Semipass” specifically because the science target was not observed. Such EBs are now flagged in SnooPI with a new "red target" symbol. 

OBOPS-2020.08 release

- A printable page of the Execution Block details is now available.

OBOPS-2020.07 release

-   The fraction of successful executions of each SB has been substituted with the Execution Percentage (EP), i.e., the Execution Count (EC) divided by the expected number of executions. The EP can exceed 100% and one SB can be considered completed if the EP is larger than 90%.

OBOPS-2020.04 release

-  The new "light blue thumb up" symbol is displayed when Phase 2 has been submitted by the PI, but the SBs have not been generated yet.

OBOPS-2020.02 release

- SnooPI's version number is reported in the upper right corner (Format: OBOPS-YYYY.MM)
- OFF Positions are shown in the EB details page for TP projects (executed after 11 March 2020)
