\section{Automatic reduction with floydsauto}
\textbf{floydsauto} is the executable used to perform
\emph{automatic reduction}. We do not report here all the options
available for this executable, since this script has been optimized to
run at LCOGT in order to produce the automatic data products for
external users. We will focus on data products.
\textbf{floydsauto} runs every day with a cron job on the last 5 days of
observations. For each night, it divides the observations using the
{\em PROPID}\footnote{{\em PROPID} is a unique number that identifies different
proposals}, reduces the data, and groups them in tar files. Each tar
file will have in the name the Proposal ID, the telescope, the date of
observations, and the MJD\footnote{The number reported is actually not the MJD, but MJD $\pm$ 1 day. This number will update at midnight local time in order to remain the same as far as the reducer compute the reduction during day-time and during the same day.} when the reduction was performed. If a
standard star was observed the same night, a tar file of automatic
reductions for the standard frames will also be produced. The tar file
for standard prereduced frames will all start with "STD", e.g.:
\begin{small}
\begin{verbatim}
LCO2013A-003_fts_20130727_56503.tar.gz
STD_fts_20130727_56503.tar.gz
\end{verbatim}
\end{small}
Each tar file will contain the following files:
\begin{small}
\begin{verbatim}
ESO323G077_offset_fts_20130727_red_2.0_56505_1.fits (Trimmed raw red part of the science frame)

\end{verbatim}
\end{small}
In summary, the extension ``\emph{2df}" indicates a flux calibrated
spectrum, the prefix ``\emph{tt}" indicates that the frame has been
geometrically \emph{transformed} along x- and y-axes, ``\emph{n}"
indicates that the frame has been flat field corrected. The typical
science name is composed (in order) of object name, telescope,
observation date, ``blue" or ``red" (indicating second or first order),
slit width, and MJD date when the reduction was performed.
The tar file also includes extra files to help the user understand
if the observations were performed correctly. It includes a pdf file
with the acquisition image and first guiding images,
together with some useful plots with information on the guiding and the
flux of the guiding star during the full exposure. An example of the
summary pdf file is shown in Fig. \ref{fig:summer}.
Filenames are of the form:
\begin{small}
\begin{verbatim}
LCO2013A-003_fts_20130727_56503.tar
LCO2013A-003_fts_20130727_56503.pdf
\end{verbatim}
