GIRAFFE news: 2012-02-02: Apparently the issue with the low lamp fluxes has been solved. I have set back the scoring system. New issues will score red again. PPRS-043737

This plot

This is the trending plot for the GIRAFFE QC parameters derived from BIAS frames.

These plots describe:
1. the BIAS level in masterbias frames,
2. the read noise (RON) of a single raw frame,
3. the read noise (RON) of a master frame,
4. the collapsed structure of a masterbias in X direction,
5. the collapsed structure in Y direction,
6. the number of bad pixels.

Find more information about GIRAFFE BIAS frames here.

Other QC parameters related to detector properties (like contamination, linearity, gain) are trended here.  


General information

Click on any of the plots to see a close-up version.

If applicable, the latest values from Paranal ops logs are plotted as blue dots. More information about those values, including a download option, is available in the OPS column.

The latest date is indicated on top of the plot, data points belonging to that date are specially marked.

If configured,

  • statistical averages are indicated by a solid line, and thresholds by broken lines
  • outliers are marked by a red asterisk. They are defined as data points outside the threshold lines
  • "aliens" (= data points outside the plot Y limits) are marked by a red arrow ( or )
  • you can download the data for each parameter set if the 'Data downloads' link shows up
