This plot monitors QC parameter darklevel of the IFS-arm for a selected range of DIT derived from SPHERE_irdifs_cal_dark template and processed by the sph_isf_dark recipe.
Box (4) shows a linear dependence of the dark level with exposure time. The relation is (2015-04-01)
dark [ADU] = -6 + 10.2 * DIT
Box (5) shows the IFS optical benchen temperature as function of time and
Box (6) shows the dependence of the dark level on the IFS optical bench temperature.
