flat0.png
Overview plot for all detectors and up to six rotator angles showing current master flat.
Missing IFUs can be easily detected.
flat1.png
One plot for each rotator angle.
top: current master flat for detectors 1, 2, and 3
bottom: central area of current master flat for detectors 1, 2, and 3;
Overplot pipeline fit of slitlet edges.
Note: In this example plot, IFUs 4, 11 and 15 were not operational.

One plot per detector, up to six rotator angles per plot:
cut in X direction through master flat.
flat3.png
One plot per detector, up to six rotator angles per plot:
cut in X direction through master flat and reference flat, central area.

QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written in QC1 database:
QC1 DB names: badpix_n | ifu_active_n |
saturated_n | flat_eff_n | flat_s2n_n |
slit_gap_mean_n | slit_gap_stddev_n | slit_gap_maxdev_n |
slit_wid_mean_n | slit_wid_stddev_n | slit_wid_maxdev_n |
slit_edge_x_n | rot_angle_n, with n = 0, 1, ..., 6.
KMOS flats are usually taken at six different rotator angles. These fill the QC parameters n = 1, ..., 6. The actual angles can be found in rot_angle_n. n = 0 is reserved for the measurement at 0 degree rotator angle.
ALGORITHM badpix_n: number of bad pixels, this includes the pixels between the slitlets
ifu_activen: number of IFUs that are calibrated by pipeline
saturated_n: number of saturated pixels
flat_eff_n: flux in e-/s of flat-field lamp
flat_s2n_n: S/N of master flat
slit_gap_mean_n: mean gap between slitlets
slit_gap_stddev_n: standard deviation of gaps between slitlets
slit_gap_maxdev_n: maximum deviating gap between slitlets
slit_wid_mean_n: mean slitlet width
slit_wid_stddev_n: standard deviation of slitlet widths
slit_gap_maxdev_n: maximum deviating slitlet widths
slit_edge_x_n: average x position of the left edge of the leftmost slitlet
rot_angle_n: rotator angle
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
low flux level or saturation.
