  The SOXS is a dual-arm spectrograph (UV-VIS & NIR) and AC due to mounted on
the ESO 3.6m NTT in La Silla. Designed to simultaneously cover the optical and
NIR wavelength range from 350-2050 nm, the instrument will be dedicated to the
study of transient and variable events with many Target of Opportunity requests
expected.
  The goal of the SOXS Data Reduction pipeline is to use calibration data to
remove all instrument signatures from the SOXS scientific data frames for each
of the supported instrument modes, convert this data into physical units and
deliver them with their associated error bars to the ESO SAF as Phase 3
compliant science data products, all within 30 minutes. The primary reduced
product will be a detrended, wavelength and flux calibrated, telluric corrected
1D spectrum with UV-VIS + NIR arms stitched together. The pipeline will also
generate QC metrics to monitor telescope, instrument and detector health.
  The pipeline is written in Python 3 and has been built with an agile
development philosophy that includes adaptive planning and evolutionary
development. The pipeline is to be used by the SOXS consortium and the general
user community that may want to perform tailored processing of SOXS data. Test
driven development has been used throughout the build using `extreme' mock
data. We aim for the pipeline to be easy to install and extensively and clearly
documented.
