This plot

This is the Health Check plot for the signal level in the GIRAFFE flat field calibration data. We display the QC1 parameter mean_raw (QC.OUT1.MEAN.RAW) of the first input raw frame. This plot monitors the L543.1 HC flat data only.

The purpose of this plot is to guarantee that all flat field calibration data have an exposure level which is good enough to record the pixel-to-pixel gain variations.

Check the other plots of this group for data from any measured flat field, sorted over time ("ALL") or over wavelength ("per WLN").

The data are checked against upper and lower limits. The lower limit is the most important one. From the CCD trending plot (no. 1), it follows that a single flat must have a minimum flux level of roughly 20.000 ADU at the fibre peak, in order to be dominated by the pixel-to-pixel gain pattern rather than by photon noise. From the topology of the flat frame signal, it follows a corresponding mean_raw value of about 7000 ADU. Assuming three input flats creating a single master fiber flat, we derive an approximate lower limit of 2000 ADU. This value is marked as lower threshold in the plot.

In the same way, the IFU flats require about 3000 ADUs on average.

The upper limit is derived from the saturation limit.  


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
