RooStats::AsymptoticCalculator

Hi guys!
I have a question about RooStats::AsymptoticCalculator (ROOT: RooStats::AsymptoticCalculator Class Reference) . The constructor of this class needs as an argument the observed data. But to build an Asimov dataset you dont really need the data, just the model. I am interested in getting initial expected limits using HypoTestInverter with this calculator, but currently the data is blinded so I cannot input the actual observed data to the constructor.
So my question is, what does the class actually do with the observed data?
And could I just give the class an Asimov dataset instead of the observed data and would the expected limits obtained with HypoTestInverter (ROOT: RooStats::HypoTestInverter Class Reference) still be valid?
Thanks in advance!
