VERSION 1.0 -- 2006-06-21 fill template by handbook
1.1 -- 2006-07-07 certified
SYNTAX SHELL
CALL measureQuality
from $DFS_PRODUCT/LINE/$DATE:
qc_LINE -d $DATE -f $primfile
INSTRUMENT SINFONI
RAWTYPE LINE
PURPOSE a) generates QC report,
b) writes QC1 parameters into local database
PROCINPUT a) $DATE in yyyy-mm-dd,
b) $primfile is the PRO.CATG=BP_MAP_NL product with the _0000.fits extension.
c) raw frames are implicitely read from the AB.
d) Reference BP_MAP_NL and BP_COEF are implicitely read from $DFO_QC_DIR/references/LINE.

line1.png
display BP_MAP_NL in RTD
line2.png
display BP_COEFF in QFitsView. This is a 2048x2048x3 pixedl large cube where each of the three planes is the non-linear polynomial coefficient per pixel. Plane #1 is offset (dark), plane #2 is linear part (flat) , plane #3 is quadratic term
line3.png
Press '^' in QFitsView to see plane #2 is linear part (flat)
line4.png
Press '^' in QFitsView to see plane #3 is quadartic term
line5.png
L: detector non-linearity function, sample points and linear function.
R: As L but other units
QC1PARAM QC1 parameters written into QC1 table:
FITSNAME, DBNAME , typical value, description:
QC.BP-MAP.LIN0.MEAN, qc_bpm_lin0_mean, linearity coefficient
QC.BP-MAP.LIN1.MEAN, qc_bpm_lin1_mean, linearity coefficient
QC.BP-MAP.LIN2.MEAN, qc_bpm_lin2_mean, linearity coefficient
QC.BP-MAP.LIN3.MEAN, qc_bpm_lin3_mean, linearity coefficient
QC.BP-MAP.LIN4.MEAN, qc_bpm_lin4_mean, linearity coefficient
QC.BP-MAP.METHOD , qc_bpm_method, (Linear), bad pixel map method (here hot pixel map)
QC.BP-MAP.NBADPIX, qc_bpm_nbadpix, (200), number of non-linear pixels
QC.BP-MAP.LIN0.MED, qc_bpm_lin0_med, linearity coefficient
QC.BP-MAP.LIN1.MED, qc_bpm_lin1_med, linearity coefficient
QC.BP-MAP.LIN2.MED, qc_bpm_lin2_med, linearity coefficient
QC.BP-MAP.LIN3.MED, qc_bpm_lin3_med linearity coefficient
QC.GAIN , qc_gain (2.543), Gain
ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
qc_bpm_lin0_mean : see pipeline user manual
qc_bpm_lin1_mean : see pipeline user manual
qc_bpm_lin2_mean : see pipeline user manual
qc_bpm_lin3_mean : see pipeline user manual
qc_bpm_lin4_mean : see pipeline user manual
qc_bpm_method: Bad pixel map method
qc_bpm_nbadpix: All non-linear pixels
qc_bpm_lin0_med : Subtract lam-off from lamp-on frames and derive median values,
qc_bpm_lin1_med : relate the median counts with DIT and fit a polynomial,
qc_bpm_lin2_med : The coefficients are the QC1 parameters
qc_bpm_lin3_med : lin0=dark, lin1=flat, lin2=non-lin, lin3=0, lin4=0
qc_bpm_lin4_med :
qc_gain, The photon noise is used to derive for each DIT a gain value. The median gain value is the QC parameter
CERTIF Tolerated:
TBD: the impact of peristence after 30 DIT flat lamps should be investigated (more than 30 counts !!!)
- Not enough frames
COMMENTS local difference frames (current product minus last one) and reference difference frames (current product minus reference) are provided in the detailed section of certifyProducts
