Description

This document describes how to obtain the ALMA Pipeline, how to use it to calibrate and image ALMA interferometric (IF) and single-dish (SD) data, and a description of the Pipeline WebLog (collection of web pages with detailed diagnostic information describing the data and pipeline heuristics applied to each dataset). Since interferometric and single-dish data are calibrated and imaged using different procedures and diagnostics, their recalibration procedures and WebLogs are described separately. This document is applicable for the Cycle 11 version (2024.1.0) of the ALMA Pipeline that is packaged with a CASA 6.6.1 Python 3.8.10 monolithic release.
