INSTRUMENT FORS2
RAWTYPE STD_MOS
PURPOSE compares raw and product STD_MOS 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.
PROCINPUT raw image from AB; STD_MOS product;

QC1PARAM QC1db names: n_saturated | object_position | avg_accuracy | efficiency_ (i=1...15)
QC1 params created by pipeline: avg_accuracy (from wavelength calibration data), efficiency parameters (in table)
QC1 params created by this procedure: n_saturated
QC1 parameters written into QC1 table: n_saturated, object_position, avg_accuracy
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
n_saturated Number of pixels above 60000 counts in the raw frame within the slitlet containing the standard star spectrum.
object_position Y position of standard star spectrum.
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
- lack of signal;
- saturated spectra (flat parts in raw data; not necessarily visible in processed data)
COMMENTS Chip 2 usually does not contain a spectrum.
