| VERSION |
1.0 -- basic functions 2.0 -- qc_report: histogram; extension to reference files 2.1 -- trend analysis 2.2 -- replaces ratio=raw1/master by diff=raw1-raw2; fp noise determined by deriv10 now. 3.0 -- AUTO mode 3.1 -- gaussian fits to noise added 3.2 -- 4port structure evaluated 3.3 -- output to table for all 4port skyflats! 3.4 -- Low/High gain discrimination added (fpatat, 04/12/99) Reference mode now set to fg15 3.5 -- reference column: upper frame reference; lower: closeup of pre-/overscan regions 3.6 -- start FORS2 adaptation (fpatat 15/03/2000) 3.7 -- automatic finding of reference frame (fpatat 08/05/2000) 3.8 -- bug fixed when no filter is present (07/09/2001) 3.9 -- changed to work with the new FORS2 CCD layout (R.Mignani) 4.0 -- since noise data are not stored in QC1 DB, they are also omitted from plot (SM, 2006-08-03) 4.1 -- changed to work with the new FORS1 CCD layout (SM, 2007-04-02) 5.0 -- adapted to new pipeline; noise calculations removed (SM, 2008-03-29) | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| ALGORITHM |
Description of algorithms: median_master: mean level of master skyflat within X200...1800, Y400...800 (MIDAS stat/ima; outputr(8)) sigma_master: std.dev. of master skyflat within X200...1800, Y400...800 (MIDAS stat/ima; outputr(4)) median_raw: mean level of first raw skyflat within X200...1800, Y400...800 (MIDAS stat/ima; outputr(8)) sigma_raw: std.dev. of first raw skyflat within X200...1800, Y400...800 (MIDAS stat/ima; outputr(4)) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| CERTIF |
Reasons for rejection: - remaining stars in master flat; Smooth, large scale variations in the ratio master/reference are no reason for rejection. Also note that the intensity of the weave-pattern variation decrases strongly from U to I. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
