The monitoring of the MOS calibration lamps is based on FIBRE (MOS) FLAT and WAVE calibration data. These data come in the 7+1 Fibre mode, 580 nm MOS setting using Plate 1. QC1 parameters for all eight fibres are collected and monitored, but only fibre 4 is used for scoring.

relative transmission (ADU/sec) of fibre (QC1 database table uves_fib_fflat, column fib_effic_rel, product keyword QC.FIBi.RELTRANS) where i is 1...8
average transmission measured on each fibre

This parameter monitors both the FLAT calibration lamp performance (which however is already monitored with the Echelle flats) and the fibre transmission. The first plot records the SIMCAL fibre, while the others monitor the target fibres (2-8). The signal in fibre 4 is also used for scoring. If all but one fibre show a signal from the lamp, a fibre with low or no signal has clearly a problem.

The REDL report is scored (in fibre #4), the REDU report is also provided but not scored (to avoid redundant alerts).

QC1 parameters

average intensity of ThAr lines (divided by EXPTIME) (QC1 database table uves_fib_wave, column int_avg, product keyword QC.INTAVG)

To monitor ThAr intensity we measure the average intensity of a selected line list. As before, the fibre #1 records the SIMCAL lamp, while fibres #2-8 record the object fibres. The signal in fibre 4 is also used for scoring.

The REDL report is scored (in fibre #4), the REDU report is also provided but not scored (to avoid redundant alerts).

This plot repeats information from the fibre flat report but is focussing on the fibres #2...#9 from both plates. Thereby it monitors the complete FLAMES/UVES fibre system.
