Abstract

CCAT will be a large sub-millimeter telescope to be built near the ALMA site in northern Chile. The telescope must support a varied set of instrumentation including large format KID cameras, a large heterodyne array and a KID-based direct detection multi-object spectrometer. We are developing a new raw data model based on HDF5 that can cope with the expected data rates of order Gbit/s and is flexible enough to hold raw data from all planned instruments.
