This plot shows the shift (reference is the cold stop) in position in the K band
QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written into QC1 table:
QC1db names: amber_bpos
FITS key names for BPOS: QC.REFPIX.A/B/C.K/H/J.SHX/SHY | QC.REFPIX.A/B/C.K/H/J.X/Y | QC.REFPIX.A/B/C.K/H/J.FLUX/PEAKFLUX/SIZX/SIZY/ANGLE
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
The pipeline looks for the beam in the different settings and calculate the position, size, angle of the beam as well as the total flux and the flux on the peak. This is done for the 3 beams ABC in the different bands JHK and also for the lamp
The data from the different settings are compared with the data from the reference setting (COLD STOP) and a shift is calculated
HC Flux angle reference: 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 bandsi are trended for the different settings.
BPOS: HC calibration: under LAMP. monitoring of the LAMP in (XY, FLUX and SIZZE) for beam A/B/C in J/H/K
CERTIF (guidelines for acceptance/rejection): for the BPOS, check if it is within the same range as the HC plots
since the last polarizer intervention, there is often no flux in J and H, so the pipeline does not find a beam.
COMMENTS Since the change of the polarizer end of 2008, there is often no flux found by the pipeline for J and/or H band. Only K should be checked
