This plot

This plots shows detector related QC parameters derived from BIAS health check calibrations of the xshooter acquisition and guiding camera (AGC). It is a 562 x 528 pixel technical CCD. For the definition of the QC parameters, please see the corresponding section of the UVB-arm and VIS-arm science detector. On 2014-01-09 the detector operations mode was switched from DET.OUT1.GAININD = 8 to DET.OUT1.GAININD = 4.  

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
