NAME qc_SCI_IMG.sh
VERSION 1.0 -- 2006-07-27 fill template by handbook
1.1 -- 2009-01-10 migrate to trendPlotter
SYNTAX SHELL
CALL measureQuality
from $DFS_PRODUCT/SCI_IMG/$DATE:
qc_SCI_IMG -d $DATE -f $primfile
INSTRUMENT ISAAC
RAWTYPE SCI_IMG
PURPOSE a) calculates post-pipeline FPN and OES 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.

L: raw frame N minus raw frame (N-1) of the stack on the RTD, use 'SR' option in 'detailed' script.
QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written into QC1 table:
FITSNAME, DBNAME , typical value, description:
NONE , imgobs_min, img_obs_max, imgobs_mean ..., statistical values of science product frame
NONE , no_prod, number of product frames
QC.NBOBJS , objects, number of sources
QC.IQ , qc_iq, image quality
QC.FWHM.MODE , qc_mode, mode of the FWHM distribution
QC.FWHM.ARCSEC , qc_fwhm_ac, median of the FWHM distribution
QC.FWHM.PIX , qc_fwhm_pix, median of the FWHM distribution
QC.NB_OBJ_F , no_obj_f, number of raw frames classified as object
QC.NB_SKY_F , no_sk, number of raw frames classified as sky
QC.NB_REJ_F , no_re, number of raw frames rejected for co-addition
NONE , qc_absrot, mean differential absrot must be -lt 0.05 degrees
NONE , qc_parang, mean differential parang must be -lt 0.05 degrees
NONE , qc_ditndit, DIT * NDIT must be -lt 100
NONE , qc_skymag, instrumental magnitude of the SKY
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:
- DIT * NDIT > 100
- differential rotator angle larger than XXX raw frame
