The new real-time registration system built by the University of Alcala registers data for the Kiel NM in the KIEL2 table. The registration system has since been replaced by an IRENA based system, developed at the IEAP. The data is pressure corrected, but the values for efficiency correction have not been determined yet, so the absolute count-rates differ from KIEL by about 5%. This registration system is still in testing mode, the data should not be used for scientific work yet, although it may be suitable for real-time ALERTS.
