The reduction, archiving, and evaluation of data from the Kitt Peak CCD/Transit Instrument is conducted by a highly structured, yet flexible data base definition and interrogation system in which the use of only a few general purpose programs increases reliability and reduces software effort and debugging time. The powerful interrogation language employed allows the operator to interact with the data in graphic form, and to define mathematical, relational and/or logical tests on the data during the interrogation, as required. Compatible data bases can be produced for such ends as the evaluation of telescope structural properties and the performance of the reduction hardware itself.
