SINFONI daily health check
monitor

Notes:

• We show the most critical QC parameters, derived from the SINFONI pipeline sinfo_rec_mflat recipe, measuring performance characteristics of the detector and the halogen calibration lamp.
• Two data set are shown: QC parameter derived by the pipeline in Garching (QC) and QC parameters derived by the pipeline on Paranal (PSO). In addition, the average of the Garching data shown. In case no Garching data are available the average of the PSO data is given instead.
• The QC parameter definitions can be found on the qc flat page.
• When no data are available for a setup, a default plot range of y = [-0.2 .. +0.2] and an average of 0 is given.
• Each plot shows a box for each of the three cameras = 0.25, 0.1, 0.025.

A) lamp flat counts

lamp flat counts J-band

lamp flat counts H-band

lamp flat counts K-band

lamp flat counts H+K-band

For daily health check, focus on:

Lamp flat counts (average of five off-lamp subtracted lamp-on median counts, not devided by DIT)

• The blue points are processed on Paranal ( = PSO)
• The black points are processed by QC Garching ( = QC)
• The last data point is marked
• The time range spans the last 2 months.

B) Off-Lamp counts

off lamp flat counts J-band

off lamp flat counts H-band

off lamp flat counts K-band

off lamp flat counts H+K-band

For daily health check, focus on:

Off-lamp flat counts (average of five off-lamp frame medians) contains residual thermal radiation in the given wavelength band

• The blue points are processed on Paranal ( = PSO)
• The black points are processed by QC Garching ( = QC)
• The last data point is marked
• The time range spans the last 2 months.
