This plot

Trending plot for counts in the flats used for gain.

QC parameters are derived from the gain data set, which consists of two flats and two dark frames.

Name:
Fits header: not available
QC1 DB: qc_counts

Description:
The parameter measures the counts in the dark subtracted lamp flat frames used for the gain determination. Setup:
These plots describe:
Fig. 1. Average view: The QC parameter averaged over all detectors. This view is sensitive to common changes.
Fig. 2. Resolved View: The QC parameter resolved for all detectors.
Fig. 3. Scatter View: The standard deviation of the QC parameter, obtained from the sample of all detectors. This view is sensitive changes of individual detectors.

if available:

Fig. 4. Scoring View: Scoring values of all 16 QC parameters. Green = within the acceptance thresholds. Red = beyond the acceptance thresholds.

Note that following DICD:

[GAIN] = ADU/e-
[CONAD] = e-/ADU

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
