This is the trending plot for the localization of fibres in the GIRAFFE flat field calibration data. We display the QC1 parameter num_fib (PRO.SLIT.NFIBRES). The purpose of this plot is to check the number of available fibres. A sudden deviation from the nominal behaviour indicates issues with broken fibres, but might also indicate pipeline problems or fibre illumination problems.
The plots are arranged per fibre system. Here we show the regular Health Check calibrations only, taken as L543.1 setting every 3rd day in the Medusa slits, and once a week for the IFU and Argus slits.
A more detailed record of the performance of each fibre, and a record of the available/missing fibres, is available here.
