VISIR QC TEMPERATURE: GENERAL

VISIR has two DRS, former Boeing, 256 x 256 BIB detectors, one for imaging and one for spectroscopy. Their operating temperature is around 7 K. We monitor the temperature by plotting it as a function of time for each detector.


TRENDING - TEMPERATURE OF THE IMAGING DETECTOR


This figure plots temperature of the imaging detector (written in the keyword INS.SENS30.VAL) only when the imager is used (i.e. in the "IMG" instrument mode).




TRENDING - TEMPERATURE OF THE SPECTROSCOPIC DETECTOR


The figure below plots temperature of the spectroscopic detector (written in the keyword INS.SENS31.VAL) only when the spectrometer is used (i.e. in the "SPC" instrument mode).
