Scoring (red/green squares in the group bar and in the navigation bar) is on the
detector average (Fig. 1) and detector rms (Fig. 3) values alone.
Scores of individual detector values (Fig. 4) are for detailed analysis but do not contribute to the
overall instrument score.
All VIRCAM thresholds are based on the following two documents:
VIS-SPE-ATC-00000-0008, "VISTA Technical Verification Specification"
ESO-347147, "VIRCAM Crtitical Control Parameters"

General information
Click on any of the plots to see a close-up version .
The latest date is indicated on top of the plot.
If configured,
data points belonging to the latest date are specially marked
statistical averages are indicated by a solid line, and thresholds by broken lines
outliers are marked by a red asterisk. They are defined as data points outside the
threshold lines
"aliens" (= data points outside the plot Y limits) are marked by a red arrow (↑ or ↓ )
