ESO Archive Frequently Asked Questions

CalSelector: Why is it that I have requested processed calibrations, but I get raw ones, instead?

That is the intended behaviour of the tool: when no processed calibrations are available for a file, it reverts by default to providing the raw ones. Please note, that, for certain instruments, that may be the case for the whole data history.
