Data Processing and Distribution status as of 30-Jun-2014

Total number of Planned Observations in Routine Phase (revs 0103-2665) 10659
Total number of Performed Observations in Routine Phase 10250
Total number of Observation Data Files generated 10094
Total number of Pipeline/Data Products sets generated and distributed 9989

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
