ioannis@56 1 Products
ioannis@56 2 ========
ioannis@37 3
ulalume3@58 4 There are two ways that a product can be related to a system: *directly* or *indirectly*.
ulalume3@58 5
ulalume3@58 6 A **directly** connected product (or **primary** product) is linked to a
ulalume3@58 7 system. When a measurement is processed, a file will be created containing the
ulalume3@58 8 retrieved quantities of this product.
ulalume3@58 9
ulalume3@58 10 A **indirectly** connected product (or **secondary** product) is used in the
ulalume3@58 11 definition of a composite, more complex, product. For example, an "extinction" product
ulalume3@58 12 can be used to define a "lidar ratio and extinction" product. In this case the
ulalume3@58 13 "lidar ratio and extinction" product is the *primary* product (directly linked
ulalume3@58 14 to a system), and the "extinction" product is the *secondary* product (only liked to
ulalume3@58 15 the "lidar ratio and extinction" product). The output of a secondary product is not stored in a
ulalume3@58 16 file.
ulalume3@58 17
ulalume3@58 18 .. warning::
ulalume3@58 19 You should avoid linking a product both *directly* and *indirectly* to the
ulalume3@58 20 same system. If you link a *secondary* product directly to a system,
ulalume3@58 21 the output of the SCC could be wrong, as two products could attempt to write
ulalume3@58 22 their output on the same file.
ulalume3@58 23
ulalume3@58 24 In the product list view, these information are summarized in two columns, labeled
ulalume3@58 25 "Directly connected" and "Parent products".
ulalume3@58 26
ulalume3@58 27 Directly connected
ulalume3@58 28 Will be green for **primary** products, i.e. if the product is directly
ulalume3@58 29 linked to a system.
ulalume3@58 30
ulalume3@58 31 Parent products
ulalume3@58 32 If the product is a **secondary** product (i.e. it is part of a composite product)
ulalume3@58 33 this column will have a links to the related *primary* products.
ulalume3@58 34
ulalume3@58 35 .. note::
ulalume3@58 36 **For administrators**: These two columns can be used to quickly spot "orphan"
ulalume3@58 37 products, i.e. products that are neither linked to a system nor to a composite
ulalume3@58 38 product. These products will not be available to any user to use, and should
ulalume3@58 39 be either connected to a system, or deleted. Orphan products will have *red*
ulalume3@58 40 in the *Directly connected* column and "-" in the *Parent products* column.

ulalume3@58 42 Adding a product
ulalume3@58 43 ----------------
ulalume3@58 44
ioannis@56 45 Depending on the product you need to produce, some of the following tables need to be filled.
ioannis@56 46
ioannis@37 47
ioannis@37 48 .. note::
ioannis@37 49
ioannis@56 50 This section is not up-to-date to the latest interface version.
ioannis@37 51
ioannis@56 52 .. note::
ioannis@56 53
ulalume3@58 54 Each product should be connected to a system, either directly or indirectly,
ulalume3@58 55 before being saved.
ioannis@56 56
ioannis@37 57
ioannis@37 58 Backscatter products
