Draft: Proposal for the camera calibration DataWriter

Tjark.Miener requested to merge datawriter into main

Description

This is a proposal for the implementation of the DataWriter for the camera calibration. The file structure is aligned with the recent ctapipe enhancement proposal cep-002 following the TelescopeEvent structure:

  • telescope -> datalevels (here: calibration) -> containers (here: flat-field, pedestal, pixel status, calibration coefficients)

However, the current implementation of the DataWriter for the camera calibration is based on the event structure of the latest ctapipe release (before cep-002). The proposed DataWriter for the camera calibration is inspired by the ctapipe DataWriter and suggests hdf5 as the data format. It is also designed to allow writing containers, e.g. flat-field and pedestal, separately, since those events (event streams) will be processed independently in the ACADA-DPPS-framework.
