QC1 plot(s) and/or display(s) are generated, and later reviewed within certifyProducts. The generated plots stored in $DFO_PLT_DIR/$DATE with the name r.<DPid>_tpl_0000.fits.png where <DPid> is the Data Product Identification of the first frame of the template.

Created together with the reference montage (see below) within the uves.MeasureQuality script. Can be recreated manually by calling the script uves.makeQCreportMontage -a <AB>, see uves.makeQCreportMontage -h for more details. fmtchk_ech_blue.montage.ref.png A montage image made up from the individual QC reports of the reference AB located by the script uves.getRefAB. During certification, the two montage images are blinked to facilitate identification of unusual features. This reference montage created at the same time as the AB montage (see above).The montage of the reference AB is easily identified during the blinking as the one with the grey background. fmtchk_ech_blue_0001.fits.png From left to right, top to bottom: plot 1:trace across the central row of the RAW frame plot 2:trace across the central column of the RAW frame plot 3:XDIFF vs YDIFF plot, where XDIFF & YDIFF are the differences measured positions of each line with respect to the positions expected from the physical model. Ideally the points in this plot should clusted about 0,0, but the pipeline seems capable to cope with deviations of upto -10,+10 in both axes (the pipeline developer expects 'problems' at values much larger than +/-10 however this range has not been 'explored' in normal operations). Jumps (of completely unpredicatable nature) are often seem in these parameters due to earthquakes and any other influence (e.g. maintenance/intervention operations) which 'disturb' the instrument. Jumps in BLUE and RED arms can be completely UNCORRELATED. plot 4:Distribution of located lines by echelle order plot 5:XDIFFs (as above) as a function of position along each order plot 6:YDIFFs (as above) as a function of position along each order fmtchk_ech_blue_0001.fits_1.ima.png MIDAS display of the RAW frame with the located emission lines indicated by squares and all squares within a given order joined by a line. fmtchk_ech_blue_0001.fits_2.ima.png Same as previous but closeup of central region with lines indicated by crosses. Note also that the "joining lines" only show joined up to the points within the display, so short lines or orders without any points at all in the displayed central region does NOT indicated no points at all (or no more) in the order, outside the displayed region.

This is useful to verify precision of physical model prediction and instrument spectral format stability. sigma_dx: rms of difference of X positions to physical model, product keyword QC.MODEL.DIFFXRMS Description: The physical model used in Formatcheck step allows to measure the difference between model predicted and detected line positions. This is useful to verify precision of physical model prediction and instrument spectral format stability. mean_dy: difference of Y positions to physical model, product keyword QC.MODEL.DIFFYAVG Description: The physical model used in Formatcheck step allows to measure the difference between model predicted and detected line positions. This is useful to verify precision of physical model prediction and instrument spectral format stability. sigma_dy: rms of difference of Y positions to physical model, product keyword QC.MODEL.DIFFYRMS Description: The physical model used in Formatcheck step allows to measure the difference between model predicted and detected line positions.

Description: Propagated directly from RAW frame CERTIF Reasons for rejection: No light or low light level (meaning too few lines can be found) Severe Saturation, there will often be some saturation in some lines which is fine, but if most lines were saturated such that too few non saturated lines could be found (never actually seen in 'recorded history' of normal operatiuons) Failure to find expected orders Deviation from physical model by significantly more than +/-10 pixels (though this has not been seen in 'recorded history' of normal operatiuons) COMMENTS None top [2015-10-30T08:20:43]         created by qcDocu v1.1.2, a tqs tool
