I have completed an initial investigation into the impact of JPEG compression on EIS line profiles. JPEG compression allows EIS to take more data but makes the data noisier. It appears as if compression levels as high as JPEG90 can be used. This has to be considered carefully in the context of the science objectives.

Here is a pdf of the report (verion 0.1!)

I also have Keynote presentation which has some additional figures in it. Please email me if you are interested.
