This plot

The lamp flux [ ADU/sec] and the flat counts are monitored in NIR-arm calibration flat frames. They are composed of ten raw frames (five on-lamp frames and five off-lamp frames).

Only frames with slit 0.9x11 are scored.

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
