Building on the "drPACS" contribution at ADASS XX of a simple Unix pipeline
infrastructure, we implemented a pipeline toolkit using the package MIRIAD to
combine Interferometric and Single Dish data (MIS). This was prompted by our
observations made with the Combined Array For Research in Millimeter-wave
Astronomy (CARMA) interferometer of the star-forming region NGC 1333, a large
survey highlighting the new 23-element and singledish observing modes. The
project consists of 20 CARMA datasets each containing interferometric as well
as simultaneously obtained single dish data, for 3 molecular spectral lines and
continuum, in 527 different pointings, covering an area of about 8 by 11
arcminutes. A small group of collaborators then shared this toolkit and their
parameters via CVS, and scripts were developed to ensure uniform data reduction
across the group. The pipeline was run end-to-end each night as new
observations were obtained, producing maps that contained all the data to date.
We will show examples of the scripts and data products. This approach could
serve as a model for repeated calibration and mapping of large mixed-mode
correlation datasets from ALMA.
