  • From 2008-04 on the max counts is no longer 4000 ADU but 20000 ADU. The effective non-linearity correction at 10000 ADU is no longer an extrapolation.

This plot

This is the trending plot for the ISAAC Linearity calibration frames. The non-linearity polynom is :

counts_corrected = counts_meas + B/A * counts_meas^2 + C/A * counts_meas^3

Dividing by counts_meas, and subtracting 1 and apply the formular for a reference count level of 10 000 ADU we get:

lin_eff (10000 ADU) = ( counts_corr / counts_meas ) - 1 =

B/A * 10000 + C/A * 10000 * 10000 =

These plots describe:
1. SW, DoubleCorr
2. LW, UncorrHighBias
3. LW, DoubleCorrHighBias
4. LW, DoubleCorrLowBias

Other QC parameters related to detector properties (like read noise, are trended.  

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 OPSLOG section on top of the page.

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
