NAME sci_pmos_qc.prg
VERSION 1.0 -- adapted from std_pmos_qc.prg (2009-04, SM)
SYNTAX MIDAS
CALL measureQuality
from $DFS_PRODUCT/STD_PMOS/$DATE:
inmidas -P -j "@@ $DFO_PROC_DIR/sci_pmos_qc.prg $date $PF"
INSTRUMENT FORS2
RAWTYPE SCI_PMOS
PURPOSE compares raw and product SCI_PMOS files for FORS2 QC assessment; the plots are later reviewed within certifyProducts. The first plot (std_mos_grap1.png) is stored as Postscript file in $DFO_PLT_DIR.

QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written into QC1 table:
QC1db names: n_saturated | avg_accuracy##
FITS key names: (sci_pmos_qc.prg) | (QC.WAVE.ACCURACY)
QC1 params created by pipeline: avg_accuracy## (from wavelength calibration data)
## stands for 0_0, 22_5,..., 315_0, 337_5, i.e. the possible angles. Not all angles are always present.
QC1 params created by this procedure: n_saturated
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
n_saturated Maximum number of pixels above 60000 counts in the raw frame within the slitlet containing the brightest spectrum.
CERTIF
COMMENTS Chip 2 usually does not contain a spectrum.
