NAME qc_DARK.sh
VERSION 1.0 -- 2006-07-13 fill template by handbook
1.1 -- 2006-07-14 script prepared for parallel runs
1.2 -- 2006-07-26 docu verified and completed
1.3 -- 2007-01-01 scoreQC implemented
1.4 -- 2007-12-05 docu updated
SYNTAX SHELL
CALL called by processQC as qc_DARK -d $DATE -f $primfile
INSTRUMENT ISAAC
RAWTYPE DARK
PURPOSE a) calculates post-pipeline FPN and Gauss-fit QC1 parameters
b) generates QC report
c) writes QC1 parameters into local list
The script reads the DET.NCORRS.NAME (= readmode) and the OCS.SELECT-ARM (arm of instrument) and calls one IS_SIDK_1night.sh, IS_SSDK_1night.sh, IS_LGDU_1night.sh, IS_LGDD_1night.sh
PROCINPUT a) $DATE in yyyy-mm-dd,
b) $primfile is the PRO.CATG=MASTER_DARK product with the _0000.fits extension.
c) raw frames are implicitely read from the AB.
d) Reference MASTER_DARK are implicitely read from $DFO_QC_DIR/references/DARK.

UL: The mean (collapsed) column (red) and the column at X=1024/4 of the product frame.
UC: Two rows at Y=1024/4 (red) and Y=1024*(3/4) (blue) of the product frame
UR: A parabolic function (blue) is fit to the central part (-3 to 3 counts) of the log of the raw2-raw1 difference frame (red). Histogram of the raw3-raw2 difference frame (green).
LL: Zoom of UC
LC: The Y=500 row of the product minus the Y=500 row of a reference product. Y=600 row of the product minus the Y=600 row of a reference product. X=500 column of the master minus the X=500 column of a reference product. The reference product is renewed usually once a period or after an intervention.
LR: Histogram of the difference frame (second raw minus first raw) (red) and Gaussian fit between -3 and 3 counts (blue). Histogram of the raw3-raw2 difference frame (green)

Histogram of MASTER_DARK per Quadrant, Gaussian fit (initial guess = green; blue = final) to derive robust fixed pattern noise

ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
RON Median standard deviation of a serieas on N samples of 2h+1 \times 2h+1 size. The parameters h and N differ from readmode to readmode.
CERTIF Quality diminishing features (not under control, but tolerated) :
- persistence in long DIT Hawaii double Darks
- persistence of the throgh slit image
Reasons for rejection:
- internal reflections in Aladdin darks
- unsupported readmode
- pinhole mask in field of view
- odd-evencolumn effect requires special intervention
COMMENTS local difference frames (current product minus last one) and reference difference frames (current product minus reference) are provided in the detailed section of certifyProducts
