Introduction

Welcome to the user documentation for the ASKAP Central Processor. These pages contain documentation for the commissioning scientists and early-science users interested in carrying out calibration, imaging, and analysis of ASKAP data products.

The bulk of the tools documented here are the individual processing tasks that make up the typical ASKAP workflow. Many of these tasks live in the Yandasoft calibration & imaging package.

Also documented is the ASKAP processing pipeline itself, that provides a coherent workflow using these tasks.

More information on (including the scope of) the ASKAP processing pipelines please refer to the document entitled ASKAP Science Processing (ASKAP-SW-0020).

A set of tutorials are provided in Tutorials that introduce some basic data processing.
