+Adding products
+===============
+
+Depending on the product you need to produce, some of the following tables need to be filled.
+
+.. note::
+
+ This section is not up-to-date to the latest interface version. It will be updated shortly.
+
+
+Backscatter products
+--------------------
+The following tables need to be filed for the various backscatter products.
+
+Backscatter calibrations
+------------------------
+For backscatter (product types: Raman backscatter, Combined Raman backscatter and extinction, Elastic backscatter retrieval
+
+LowestHeight
+ in meters, lowest height for reference height search
+
+TopHeight
+ in meters, maximum height for reference height search
+
+WindowWidth
+ in meters, width of the reference height interval
+
+calValue
+ backscatter ratio, e.g. 1 or 1.01
+
+calRangeSearchMethod ID:
+ always 0
+
+
+If done, you have to remember the ID for your backscatter calibration options an go the the specific tables below,
+
+for product type 0 and 2: Raman_backscatter_options
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Raman calculation method
+ at the moment, only 1
+
+bsc cal options
+ insert ID from previous step
+
+error method ID:
+ at the moment, only 1
+
+for product type 3: elast_backscatter_options
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+ elast bsc method ID
+ at the moment, only 1 (iterative approach)
+
+bsc cal options
+ insert ID from previous step
+
+error method ID:
+ at the moment, only 1
+
+lr input id:
+ at the moment, only 1 (fixed LR)
+
+fixed_lr
+ ... in sr, value of the used lidar ratio
+
+iter_bsc_options
+ if, iterative approach is used, go to table iter_bsc_options and remember ID and insert here
+
+iter_bsc_options
+----------------
+
+iter conv crit
+ ...e.g. 0.1 (=10%) The iteration is stopped when the RELATIVE difference between the actual and the previous column integrated backscatter coefficients is below this value
+
+ram bsc method id
+ at the moment, only 1
+
+max iteration count:
+ maximum number of iteration steps
+
+for product type 1: Extinction options
+--------------------------------------
+
+Extinction method:
+ Standard: 1, (0 weighted linear fit, 1 non-weighted linear fit, 2 difference quotient, 3 polynomial sec order fit, 4 quadratic function, 5 Savitzky-Golay filter, 6 Russo)
+
+error method ID:
+ at the moment, only 1
+
+overlap file ID:
+ if overlap file is available, enter ID here
+
+angstroem:
+ used angström value for the extinction calculation, e.g. 0,1, or 1.5
+
+for product type 2: Ext bsc options
+-----------------------------------
+
+product ID
+ ID of product type 2
+
+extinction option product ID
+ ID of the extinction product (see table products)
+
+raman backscatter options product ID
+ ID of the Raman backscatter product (see table products)
+
+error method ID:
+ at the moment, only 1
+
