Documentation for starting an online compact binary coalescence analysis
========================================================================
Prerequisites
-------------
- Fully functional gstlal, gstlal-ugly, gstlal-inspiral installation
- Condor managed computing resource with dedicated nodes to support online jobs (which run indefinitely)
- Network streaming gravitational wave data
Introduction
------------

The online analysis has a somewhat involved setup procedure. This
documentation covers all of it. The steps are:
1. Generate template banks for the target search area
2. Decompose the template waveforms using the SVD in chirpmass and chi bins
3. Setup and run the actual online analysis.
You can expect the setup (steps 1 and 2) to take several days. Furthermore,
the analsysis (step 3) requires at minimum several days of burn-in time until
it learns the noise statistics of the data before it should be allowed to
submit candidate gravitational waves. Plan accordingly.
**Note, this tutorial will assume a specific directory structure and certain
configuration files. These can and should be changed by the user. This
tutorial should be considered to be a guide, not cut-and-paste instructions.**
