2 <p>Based on the requirement that all results produced by the LTP Data Analysis software must be
3 easily reproducible as well as fully traceable, the idea of implementing analysis objects (AO) as
4 they are described in S2-AEI-TN-3037 arose.</p>
5
6 <p>An analysis object contains all information necessary to be able to reproduce a given result. For
7 example
8 <ul>
9 <li>which raw data was involved (date, channel, time segment, time of retrieval if data can be
10 changed later by new downlinks)</li>
11 <li>all operations performed on the data</li>
12 <li>the above for all channels of a multi-channel plot</li>
13 </ul>
14 </p>
15 <p>The AO will therefore hold
16 <ul>
17 <li>the numerical data belonging to the result</li>
18 <li>the full processing history needed to reproduce the numerical result</li>
19 </ul>
20 </p>

22 <p>The majority of algorithms in the LTPDA Toolbox will operate on AOs only (these are always methods
23 of the AO class) but there are also utility functions which do not take AOs as inputs, as well as methods
24 of other classes. Functions in the toolbox are designed to be as simple and elementary as
25 possible. </p>
