The raw data is processed into visibility amplitudes and averaged into blocks of data 5 seconds long. This processing is performed automatically at the end of each night of observing. These 5 second blocks of data have been corrected for detector biases. A more detailed desciption of this data reduction is given in the Kvis manual. The averaged visibilities and the necessary auxiliary information are referred to as Level 1 data.
The final stage of data analysis is to calibrate the Level 1 data for the system visibility. Details of this procedure are here.
