5. Technical challenges non-linearity calibration and measurement cross-talk between channels and detectors image persistence from frame-to-frame sky level variations on short timescales rapid variability of OH fringing seeing variations on short timescales possible time varying flatfield characteristics calibration and extinction monitoring data volume and throughput robust automatic DQC measures

6. Progress work package spreadsheets and timelines instigated regular minuted meetings with actions provisional ICDs with JAC and WFAU agreed FITS header definition and test MEF data processed automated DQC monitoring developed pipeline monitoring tools with web interface programming completed for all basic modules ORAC-DR test routines for UFTI delivered and installed software module development for standard pipeline on target good progress with VDFS documentation for PDR
