UL : The first coefficient of the wavelength calibration polynomial (the wavelength offset) for all columns (current=red, blue=most recent).
UR: As Upper left: The first coefficient of the wavelength calibration polynomial (the wavelength offset) for all columns (RED); The same of the reference frame (BLUE)
CL: The second coefficient of the wavelength calibration polynomial (the linear dispersion) for all columns (current=red, blue=most recent).
CR: As CL. The second coefficient of the wavelength calibration polynomial (the linear dispersion) for all columns (RED). The same for the reference frame (BLUE).
LL: The third coefficient of the wavelength calibration polynomial (the quadratic term of the dispersion) for all columns.
LR: As LL. The third coefficient of the wavelength calibration polynomial (the quadratic term of the dispersion) for all columns (RED). The same for the reference frame (BLUE).

ALGORITHM Description of algorithms:
qc_wave_all : number of identified lines
qc_wave_npixsat : number of saturated pixel
qc_wave_maxflux : product maximum flux
qc_coef0_avg .. qc_coef2_med For each of the 2048 columns an individual wavelength dispersion solution is found specified by three coefficients per column. The median and the average over the 2048 coefficients is given.
qc_fwhm_avg the average full width at half maximum of the sample of arc lines
qc_fwhm_med the median full width at half maximum of the sample of arc lines
qc_slit_17 just the slitlet postion valoe of slitlet #17 taken from the SLIT_POS product
qc_wave_poserr : overall dispersion solution fit quality
qc_frmon_meanflux .. qc_frmdif_maxflux I set of simple QC1 parameters; they applied in various recipes of sinfoni
qc_frmon_npixsat number of saturated pixels
CERTIF Reasons for rejection:
The calibration template requests user-intercation (init the grating, move it to the desired position) in case a grating time-out occurs. Hence wheel-stuck problems do not occur. TBD: The FLAT_LAMP_STACKED_DIST should be checked via the detailled/F option, or included in the video_show; Check the right rim !!,
a QC report is TBD.
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
