| CAID: MIPS-912 | Title: IOC Darks, 160 um | |
| System: MIPS | Principal: kgordon | Deputy: |
| Objective: | Dark current and read noise measurements. |
| Description: | point to the 160 micron dark position and take dark measurements using the 10 sec Dark IER and 10 sec read noise measurements using the Read Noise IER. |
| Day: 50.7159722222277 | Suggested Order: | ||
| Must be preceded by these activities (list by CAID): | |||
| Place in Schedule: | |||
| Priority: Critical | |||
Conditions | |||
| Maximum telescope temperature: | 9 K | ||
| Minimum telescope temperature: | 5.5 K | ||
| Should activity be repeated if focus changes? | No Repeat if focus changes by 0 mm | ||
| Maximum absolute pointing uncertainty: | 0 arcsec (1 sigma radial) | ||
| Maximum precision offset uncertainty: | 0 arcsec (1 sigma radial) | ||
| Observatory configuration: | standard | ||
| Go/No Go criteria: | |||
Duration: 15 minutes
| | Real time downlink:
No | | |||
| Data Volume (uncompressed): 168 Mbits | |||
| List Blocks, AORs, SERs, IERs, or unique sequences required (uplink): Dark IERs: mips_drk160um_10s35 Read Noise IER: mips_rn160um_10s50 | |||
| List Analysis tools required (downlink): DAT - mips_sloper, mips_caler, mips_enhancer | |||
| Estimate of data turn around: 24 hours | |||
| Description: Create 160um dark current calibration image. Standard output of mips_enhancer. Determine read noise. | |||
| Can proceed in parallel with other activity: No | |||
| Must outcome be confirmed before next activity: No | |||
| Method of Confirmation: Create dark current image. Check that the dark current was stable over the measurment. Create read noise measurement and compare to previous measurements. | |||
| Success criteria: Good dark current measurement. No weird behaviors (check ramps, stim latents, etc). Nominal read noise values. | |||
| Contingency plan: It's a calibration frame. As long as any changes between calibration image are reasonable and understandable, things are fine. If not, then any problems need to be fixed so the next calibration image is taken correctly | |||

Additional Comments:
To be scheduled at the beginning of every campaign using the 160 um detectors but after start-up and warm-up activities after instrument checkout has reached a certain level. | |||
