This tutorial provides information for the the Z-Point Health Check trending.
The Z-Point trending is based on the measurement of QC1 parameters of photometric standard star calibration data obtained with OBs executed according to the calibration plan, meaning at least one set of J, H, Ks, & Y obserations of at least one standard star every photometric or clear night during which HAWK-I SCIENCE observations are made.
Each standard star OB obtains 1 set of standard star data in one filter comprised of four RAW data files, with the standard star placed at the center of the each detector sequentially.
The Computed zeropoint, corrected for atmospheric extinction and the maximum counts in ADU in the standard star are monitored for each detector.

QC1 parameters

• Extinction corrected zero-point (QC1 database table hawki_zp, column qc_atx0, product keyword QC.ATX0)
  Description: Extinction corrected zero-point.
• source peak value (QC1 database table hawki_zp, column qc_zpoint_peak, product keyword QC.ZPOINT.PEAK)
  Description: Peak counts in the center of the source in ADU.
