This is the trending plot for the GIRAFFE QC parameters derived from DARK frames.
It combines data from the old
and the new CCD (since 2008-05).
These frames are taken approximately once per month, as a set of 3 consecutive
exposures of 3600 secs each. These data are de-biased and combined into a
MASTER_DARK, in which the average dark level is measured (in ADU/px/hr).
Box 1 has the DARK current, in ADU/hr/pix. For the new CCD, it is measured across the whole
chip.
The old CCD (used until 2008-03) had a significant glow, and the DARK current
was
measured outside the glow, in a box extending up to row @3800.
Box 2 is displayed in history plots up to 2008. It measures the glow
itself.
Note that there was no glow between 2003-07 and 2004-07-26.

here.
Other QC parameters related to detector properties (like contamination,
linearity, gain) are trended in the same group.
General information
Click on any of the plots to see a close-up version.
The latest date is indicated on top of the plot.
If configured,
- data points belonging to the latest date are specially marked
- statistical averages are indicated by a solid line, and thresholds by broken lines
- outliers are marked by a red asterisk. They are defined as data points outside the
threshold lines
- "aliens" (= data points outside the plot Y limits) are marked by a red arrow (↑ or ↓)
- you can download the data for each parameter set if the 'Data downloads' link shows up
