| VERSION | 1.0 -- copied from science.prg (May 2005) 1.1 -- adapted to new CCD, scoreQC included (2008-05-28)
 1.2 -- efficiency now separate product (2008-07-17)

| INSTRUMENT | GIRAFFE | 
  |  | 
| RAWTYPE | STD_ARG (Argus standard star) | 
  |  | 
| PURPOSE | compares raw and product STD files 
  for FLAMES_GIRAFFE QC assessment;
  QC1 values are calculated, a QC1 plot is generated,
  displays are generated. The QC1 data are fed into the 
	QC1 database. | 
  |  | 
| PROCINPUT | STD_RBNSPECTRA, EFFICIENCY_CURVE | 
  |  | 
| QC1TABLE | trending | table(s) in QC1 database: giraffe_std

| TRENDPLOT | trending | HealthCheck plot(s) associated to this procedure: ../FULL/trend_report_SYSTEM_EFFIC_HC.html |

 box1:crosscut (middle row) through the raw file (red: mbias level); there should be a few fibres illuminated
 box2a:histogram (log) of raw file (as another check for signal)
 box2b:raw-bias, should show parabolic peak at 0, not shifted
 box3:extracted spectrum (not flattened), all fibres collapsed
 box4:efficiency curve, before (black) and after (red) sky correction; the sky correction factor is displayed at bottom

| QC1PARAM | QC1 parameters written into QC1 table: QC1_db names: num_fib | mean_signal | obs_targ_name | airmass | seeing | mean_effic | qc_numsat
 FITS key names: PRO.SLIT.NFIBRES | [calculated] | OBS.TARG.NAME | TEL.AIRM.START/END | TEL.AMBI.FWHM.START/END | [calculated] | [calculated]
 QC1 parameters calculated by the pipeline: mean_signal | mean_effic | qc_numsat
 
 | 
  |  | 
| ALGORITHM | mean_signal, mean_effic: stat/ima; qc_numsat: count all pixels > 60.000 | 
  |  | 
| CERTIF | Reasons for rejection: - scoring alerts, in particular saturation
 - no target visible in  reconstructed image
 
 | 
  |  | 
| COMMENTS | Scoring: mean_signal  | mean_effic | num_fib   | qc_numsat ABs fail if target not in catalog
 section MARK_TRACINGS is called in science.prg
