NAME qc_ZPOINT.sh
VERSION 0.9 2005-09-16 : adopted for ISAAC2 CPL/DFOS
1.0 -- 2006-07-25 fill template by handbook
1.1 -- 2008-04-18 writeQC replaces get_QC1 and call_qc1_ZPOINT
SYNTAX SHELL
CALL called by processQC as qc_ZPOINT -d $DATE -f $primfile
INSTRUMENT ISAAC
RAWTYPE ZPOINT
PURPOSE a) generates QC report
b) writes QC1 parameters into local list
Thee raw types SW_ZPOINT, LW_J_ZPOINT and LW_C_ZPOINT are handled
PROCINPUT a) $DATE in yyyy-mm-dd,
b) $primfile is the PRO.CATG=ZPOINT product with the _0000.fits extension.
c) raw frames and PRO.CATG=ZP_TAB products are implicitely read from the AB.

UL: Measurements from eight difference frames: counts. The bars are 0.95*average, average, 1.05*average; average is already minmax rejected.
UR: Measurements from eight difference frames: residual background. The bars are 0.95 of range, median, 1.05 of range.
LL: Measurements from eight difference frames: magnitudes. The bars are median-0.056mag, median, median+0.053mag.
LR: Measurements from eight difference frames: FWHM. Red=FWHM(x), Green=FWHM(y), Blue=sqrt(FWHM(x)^2 + FWHM(y)^2).
QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written into QC1 table:
FITSNAME, DBNAME , typical value, description:
NONE , flux_counts, Mean flux
NONE , fwhm_arcsec, Mean fwhm
QC.ZPOINT , zpoint, Min-Max rejected median zpoint
QC.ZPOINT_X0 , zpoint at X=0, extinction corrected (at airmass=0)
QC.ZPOINTRMS , zpointrms, RMS of zpoint
QC.GRADX , qc_grad_x , flux gradient over the FOV
QC.GRADY , qc_grad_y, flux gradient over the FOV
QC.GRADDX , qc_grad_dx, error in flux gradient
QC.GRADDY , qc_grad_dy, errro in flux gradient
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
ZPOINT From 5 consecutive measurements, eight difference frames are generated.
GRAD The jitter pattern on the FOV has the shape of a five on a dice.
GRAD Perform linear regression in x and in y of the 4 corner measurements and derive relative flux gardient normalized to 1024 pixel.
CERTIF Quality diminishing features (not under control, but tolerated) :
- y=512 row and insufficient flat fielding
Reasons for rejection:
- saturation - less than 5 measurements in SW-arm
