| ALGORITHM |
Description of algorithms: BPOS: HC calibration: under Position Ref. measure the XY position of the beam for the 3 beams ABC and the JHK bands. The shift between these different settings and the amber reference (coldstop) is calculated. BPOS: HC calibration: under Flux Angle Ref. measure the flux, the flux on the peak, the position angle and the size in X and Y of the beam for the 3 beams ABC and the JHK bands. BPOS: HC calibration: under LAMP. monitoring of the LAMP in (XY, FLUX and SIZZE) for beam A/B/C in J/H/K Description of algorithms: P2VM: Calculate the internal instrumental Visibility for the different instrumental settings (Low, Medium and High resolution) and for the 3 baselines (12, 23, 31). The Spectral Configuration is given by OCS.OBS.SPECCONF or INS.MODE, the observing band by QC.BAND. When observing in Low Resolution JHK or Medium Resolution the offsets between the different photometric channels is also measured Description of algorithms: Cutoff: When fringes are obtained in Low Resolution, we monitor the cutoff of the K spectruum, this has been an issue with AMBER and needs to be monitor to insure that the full K spectruum is present in the raw data. Description of algorithms: SNR: When fringes are obtained, the number of frames with a SNR >= 2 is calculated. Description of algorithms: fringes: When fringes are obtained, we run the amber_selector on the products. The products are _0 for the main product (CALIB/SCIENCE_REDUCED) _1 for the products CALIB/SCIENCE_REDUCED_FILTERED with filter: 50% frames with best SNR for every baselines, _4 for the products CALIB/SCIENCE_REDUCED_FILTERED with 2 filters: first 50% frames with best SNR for every baselines, then on the absolute piston. Remark: The plots are not created if no frames or a too small number of frames are selected. filtered fringes: When filtered products are obtained AND the object (CALIB) is a CalVin Calibrator, a Transfer function is calculated. The products are _5 for J band, _6 for H band and _7 for K band. If there are no J and H band no _5 and _6 products/plots will exist. The plots are also created. Instrumental Transfer Function: Two additionnal plots are created monitoring the TF^2 and Vis^2 during the night. These plots are tagged .fits.trf.gif and .fits.vis.fits | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| CERTIF |
(guidelines for acceptance/rejection): for the BPOS, P2VM, check if it is within the same range as the HC plots (guidelines for acceptance/rejection): for the fringe files, check the Vis2=f(SNR), the shape of the spectruum and the shape of the dispersed fringes (## still fringes for MR and HR). The plots to check are the _4xxx.fits.gif which is selected on Fringe SNR (best 50%) and on piston and the TF functions plots (_5 for J, _6 for H , _7 for K) . The selection/target/number of frames are mentionned in the plots. You could also check the trending of the TF^2 and Vis^2 during the night (guidelines for acceptance/rejection): for the fringe file, in some rare cases FINITO is not used. When the fringe tracking is poor, once should check if finito was used (keyword with FNT)# | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
