Description
Attached are the DICD (Data Interface Control Dictionaries) that I wrote for MICADO, micadodicd.zip. The conversion to yaml is included as well.
The DICD files are ASCII files named like ESO-ELT-DIC.MICADO_DET, with entries like
Parameter Name: DET ANGLE
Class: header
Context: Detector
Type: double
Value Format: %.3f
Unit: degree
Comment Format: Angle of detector
Default: 0.0
Description: Angle of detector
For MICADO I used those to define what all keywords mean. Where they were used was defined in the data model (that we don't have for METIS).
I propose we just use these DICD files for now, and put them in the IRDB. Maybe in the METIS/dicd directory? Then in the METIS/headers directory we put where these keywords are used.
I'm not sure about the future of these DICD files. To some extent they are being replaced by a new format that I do not have access to anymore. But much of the information was missing in this new format.
