QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written in QC1 database:
QC1 DB names: master_dc | master_dcerr | master_max | master_mean | master_stdev | master_median | master_min | master_nbadpix | master_nsaturated
All parameters are calculated by the pipeline recipe.
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
master_dc: dark current measured on master dark in randomly placed windows
master_dcerr: dark current error measured on master dark in randomly placed windows
master_median: median of the master dark
master_mean: mean the master dark
master_stdev: standard deviation of the master dark
master_min: minimum value of the master dark
master_max: maximum value of the master dark
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
unusual high dark level, change of structure, lower DATANCOM value
