ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
The kappa coefficients are measured using the photometric files taken with an SCI_PHOT observation. The photometry files associated to the SCI_PJHOT observation (if requested by the PI) could be used to calibrate the fringes taken in SCI_PHOT mode. For now we use a static kappa matrix (calculated accumulating 6 months or more of data) to calibrate the fringes. This is only used for instrument monitoring.
CERTIF (guidelines for acceptance/rejection)Should be within a certain threshold (see HC plots). If the object is too faint, there are some problems
COMMENTS MIDI is misaligned in reference with the VLTI beam, this causes the k22 to be overestimated
