Data Processing and Distribution status as of 30-Sep-2013

Total number of Planned Observations in Routine Phase (revs 0103-2528) 10226
Total number of Performed Observations in Routine Phase 9818
Total number of Observation Data Files generated 9668
Total number of Pipeline/Data Products sets generated and distributed 9597

Turnaround (in days) between Data acquisition and final Data Products distribution (last Quarter)
Values in excess of 90 days usually indicate a problem analysing the data and/or that re-processing was required.
 Data Delay
