## Technical Implementation

### Data Pipeline (6 stages)
1. **Load**: Query RawDataView table from MySQL
2. **Define**: Structure data, handle NaN, despike, validate temperatures
3. **Convert**: Apply calibration (gain * raw + offset)
4. **Average**: Gaussian smoothing (scipy.ndimage.gaussian_filter1d)
5. **Elaborate**: Calculate physical quantities (angles, displacements, forces)
6. **Write**: Batch INSERT with ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE

### Key Libraries
- **NumPy**: Array operations, vectorized calculations
- **SciPy**: Gaussian filter, median filter for despiking
- **mysql-connector-python**: Database connectivity
- **Pandas**: Excel file reading (star parameters)

### Performance
- Single chain: 2-10 seconds
- Parallel processing: Linear speedup with CPU cores
- Memory efficient: Streaming queries, NumPy arrays

### Error Handling
- Error flags: 0 (valid), 0.5 (corrected), 1 (invalid)
- Temperature validation with forward fill
- NaN handling with interpolation
- Database transaction rollback on errors
- Comprehensive logging
