This plot

Here we monitor the lamp flux in ADU/sec and the flat counts in ADU of the daily acquired health check IFU flat. These HC IFU flats are composed of two raw frames only, one on-lamp and one off-lamp frame. The template is usually started twice a day, once at instrument startup with DIT=60sec and once at the end of the day-time calibrations with DIT=25sec.

The lamp flux is scored, the flat counts not.

For more information see the plot tutorial page.  


General information

Click on any of the plots to see a close-up version.

The latest date is indicated on top of the plot.

If configured,

  • data points belonging to the latest date are specially marked
  • 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
