This plot

Trending plots for bias QC parameters.

All bias parameters are measured in the central 1600x1800 pixels of the detectors. The median bias level and the rms of the master should show a stable trend without sudden jumps or increase/decrease. The read-out noise (ron_raw) is calculated from the difference of the first two raw frames. Some outliers with high values are occasionally observed due to cosmic ray events. The read-out noise as measured from master frames (ron_master) should be extremely stable.

Bias frames are usually measured daily during day-time. They come in two different varieties: with low gain (used for imaging) and with high gain (used to calibrate the spectroscopic modes).

Template IDs: img_cal_Dark and spec_cal_Dark. Pipeline recipe: vmbias.  


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
