QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written into QC1 table (UVB has 2 separate lamps):
QC1db names: min_flux_1 | max_flux_1 | max_flux_norm_1
FITS key names: QC.FLUX.MIN | QC.FLUX.MAX | flux_norm_1
QC1db names: (only UVB, QTH lamp) min_flux_2 | max_flux_2 | max_flux_norm_2
FITS key names: QC.FLUX.MIN | QC.FLUX.MAX | flux_norm_2
QC1 params created by pipeline: all except flux_norm_1/2 (= max_flux_1/2 divided by exposure time)
ALGORITHM
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
- saturation or severe underexposure; for UVB: lack of one lamp
COMMENTS In case a new flat field lamp is inserted in the instrument: 1) edit $DFO_CONFIG_DIR/trendPlotter/lamp_exchange_list.txt 2) call $DFO_CONFIG_DIR/trendPlotter/lamp_exchange_run.sh to update LAMP_EXCHANGE_QTH.py (and others) to be called by HC plot to mark dates of lamp exchange by blue bars
