  The Multi-Band Template Analysis is a low-latency analysis pipeline for the
detection of gravitational waves to triggering electromagnetic follow up
observations. Coincident observation of gravitational waves and an
electromagnetic counterpart will allow us to develop a complete picture of
energetic astronomical events. We give an outline of the MBTA pipeline, as well
as the procedure for distributing gravitational wave candidate events to our
astronomical partners. We give some details of the recent work that has been
done to improve the MBTA pipeline and are now making preparations for the
advanced detector era.
