Dear SALT user,

Your data are now available for pickup through ftp:

Raw Data:
ftp://saltdata.salt.ac.za/YYYY-INST-PID.20200522_raw.tar.bz2

Product Data:
ftp://saltdata.salt.ac.za/YYYY-INST-PID.20200522_product.tar.bz2

Documentation:
ftp://saltdata.salt.ac.za/YYYY-INST-PID.20200522_doc.tar.bz2

Or one tarball containing all of the data products:
ftp://saltdata.salt.ac.za/YYYY-INST-PID.20200522.tar.bz2

If needed, you can access the SALT Astronomer's nightlog using your
WM login and password here:
https://www.salt.ac.za/sanightlogs/20200522.log


You will need to login to the ftp server using your PIPT username and
password.  Due to limitations in storage, the data will only remain
available for a maximum of one month of time.   For further details
on the pipeline reductions, please see:
https://sciencewiki.salt.ac.za/index.php/SALT_Data_Quality

Bandwidth within South Africa is improving but still relatively
small.  In order to avoid problems caused by download interruptions we
recommend using the wget package to download your data rather than
standard FTP. A typical execution of wget will look like this:
wget --user=PIPT_login --password='PIPT_passwd' -b -c -t 100
   ftp://saltdata.salt.ac.za/YYYY-INST-PID.20200522_product.tar.bz2

If the connection is broken then the download will restart
automatically at the byte where the procedure failed rather than
returning to the first byte in the file.

Data is archived in a tar file and compressed with the bzip2
scheme. Data may be extracted from the tar file using:
tar jxvf YYYY-INST-PID.20200522.tar.bz2

Observation and pipeline documentation are provided within the doc/
directory contained in the archive.  The documentation format is HTML
and is best read by opening the file doc/CapeTownNotes20200522.html
with your web browser.

For the appropriate acknowledgements and citations for observations
with SALT, please see:

Contact the SALT project at salthelp@saao.ac.za if you have any
difficulty downloading, inspecting, or analyzing your data.

Sincerely,
The SALT Operations Team
