+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
+
