This parameter is determined from an overscan-subtracted calibration
lamp exposure in LSS mode (taken with the template
FORS2_lss_tec_flatLampcheck). The total signal is integrated and
normalized by the exposure time and the total number of original CCD
pixels (keeping into account possible binning). More information can
be found in the plot
tutorial.
The setup of the lamp check is G300V, GG435 and 1arcsec slit.
- FFB12
Monitoring the lamp flux of the two
blue low brightness halogen lamps FlatBlue+1 and FlatBlue+2.
These lamps are used to generate imaging screen flats.
- FFB34
Monitoring the lamp flux of the two
high brightness blue halogen lamps FlatBlue+3 and FlatBlue+4.
These lamps are used to generate spectroscopic flats in blue (G300V, G600B) spectroscopic setups.
- FFR34
Monitoring the lamp flux of the two
red halogen lamps FlatRed+3 and FlatRed+4.
These lamps are used to generate spectroscopic flats in red spectroscopic setups.
