NAME QCsinfo_hcao.py
VERSION 1.0 -- 2006-06-27 fill template by handbook
1.1 -- 2006-07-10 revisited
2.0 -- 2009.01.20 completely re-written in Python with added QC functions and images
INSTRUMENT SINFONI
SYNTAX Python
RAWTYPE HC_AO
CALL measureQuality
from $DFS_PRODUCT/HC_AO/$DATE:
QCsinfo_hcao.py -a $AB_name -i $level_of_interaction: 0-2
PURPOSE a) generates QC report,
b) writes QC1 parameters into local database
PROCINPUT a) $DATE is now read from AB
b) primary file is set in QCsinfo_hcao.py and is the PRO.CATG=MASTER_PSF product with the _0000.fits extension.
c) raw frames are implicitly read from the AB.
d) Reference MASTER_PSF is read in from $DFO_QC_DIR/references/HC_AO/.

UL: Image of current PSF_CALIBRATOR_STACKED product.
UR: Image of current MASTER_PSF product with centroid shown. Legend gives centroid position, fwhm of major and minor axes, and position angle in degrees.
LL: (Current cube median - reference cube median) difference image.
LR Vertical and horizontal profile through current cube median.

UL: Strehl ratio. Median value is given in title.
UR: Encircled energy (normalized).
CL: X (blue line) and Y (red line) offset from the nominal image center (in pixels).
CR: FWHM of the major (blue line) and minor (red line) axes. fwhm(major)/fwhm(minor) * 10. is shown as a black line. Units are pixels.
LL: Extracted spectrum of fibre (in counts).
LR: Column and row averages through PSF_CALIBRATOR_STACKED image (in counts).

ALGORITHM Description of algorithms: (status 2006-07-10)
RTC QC parameters : special AO software
FWHM parameters : the post-pipeline scripts applied the ESO-MIDAS command CENTER/IQE to each plane of the final product cube. The wavelength mean MEDIAN value is given.
FRM QC1 parameters : simple statistics on the final product cube
FWHM parameters : Gauss fit integrated into the pipeline; QC1 parameter inventory TBD
CERTIF Reasons for rejection: Extreme offset values from nominal image center.
