For AMBER, there is no DARK taken as daily calibration. The dark frames are taken as full frame during the actual observation run. It is also possible to skip this full frame dark and use the dark channel (on the left most side of the CCD chip) which is part of the science image. In this case the accuracy will be reduced.

The calibrations taken for the detector are Bad Pixel Map (BPM) and Flat Field Map (FFM)

top Bad Pixel Map - Flat Field Map

The detector calibrations files should be taken at least once each period or when there is an intervention. The images shown here are maybe not the up to date ones. You can retrieve the latest fits files here

QC1 parameters

parameter QC1 database: table, name procedure
number of bad pixels, number of good pixels, ratio amber_detector, bad_pixels, good_pixels, bad_pixels_ratio - compute the bad pixel map

Availibility of BPM FFM

The BPM and FFM used to reduce the data (fits files) are available here

Data should be taken at least at the beginning of each period or after a detector intervention.
