Trending plot for the number of bad pixels as determined from LED flat-field calibrations.

ESPRESSO has two chips, one for the BLUE and one for the RED arm. Each chip has 16 read-out ports. QC parameters are determined per read-out port which leads to 16 different values for each QC parameter per chip. The HC plots show in separate sub plots the total number of bad pixels per detector (TOTAL), the RMS of these values, and ALL 16 individual values (in one sub plot).

There are also plots showing the values for each read-out port in detail. The labels there come in the form <DET>_<X>_<Y> with <DET> being the chip (BLUE or RED), <X> the x positions of the read-out on the chip (0, 1, to 7), and <Y> the y position (0 or 1).
