WIRE Handbook: Chapter 7: Data Reduction Pipeline
WIRE Science Operations Center Data Analysis System:
Here is a high level document regarding DA
operations at the SOC:

Analyzing Data with the Web Data Reports:
Here are the basic steps for analyzing the data for a single segment
using the "WireObs" HTML segment table:
steps_for_DA .
Running the WIRE data reduction pipeline:
Here is a very brief syntax for running pipeseg and pipemseg:
pipeseg-doc .
WIRE filenaming conventions
A short document
describing how raw image data and pipeline
products are named is
here .
WIRE Source Extraction
Here is documentation on
using the
WIRE source extractor .
Here is the DAOPHOT II User's Manual by Peter Stetson (21 January 1998):
daophotman.ps .
A description of the columns in the single band source list (after
running "alstable" conversion) is
here .
WIRE Source Band-Merging
Once the extracted point source tables are created by the source extractor
(wdaophot) for both the 12 micron and 25 micron bands, the sources are
merged into a single table by the bandmerger program called
wiremerge.
Miscellaneous Documentation
The data reduction pipeline consists of all the programs and scripts which
convert the raw telemetry data to band-merged extracted point source
tables and co-added images.
After the raw telemetry data files have been received at the IPAC SOC...
The images within a single segment are stacked...
