This plot monitors an instrumental issue:
The shutter opens after the integration sequence has already started, leaving the first NDIT subintegrations without lamp counts.
See the 'plot tutorial' for more information on this issue.
The raw flat FITS frame is a datacube with NDIT subintegrations, each one stored in one plane of the data cube. The RMS of the sample of NDIT counts medians (retrieved from the NDIT planes of the data cube) is monitored. When all subintegrations collects the same anounts of counts the rms is low. When one or more planes collect less or no counts the rms is high.
The following setups are monitored:
