This plot

setup used for monitoring is: 100k/1pt/hg read mode, 1.0x11 slit and 1x1 binning

D2 lamp is monitored via flux1 QC parameters
QTH lamp is monitored via flux2 QC parameters

Arguments for upper threshold of 60000 ADU:

  • The flat field lamp fluctuations within a set of five raw frames can be +- 1000 ADU.
  • When the counts QC parameter reaches 63000 ADU the first hot pixel begin to saturate.
  • The UVB-arm detector is linear ( < 0.01) up to the saturation level of 65535 ADU.
 
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
