Sequencer Site SIRTF IOC Activity c. 2002

CAID: MIPS-920 Title: Routine 24 um Flux Standard
 
System: MIPS Principal: dhines Deputy: 
Objective:  
Flux Calibration to be done at the beginning 
and end of every campaign after instrument 
checkout and calibration has reached a 
certain level.
 
Description:
Similar to MIPS 350.
1 flux standards will be observed in (small 
field) photometry mode.  In addition, a short 
observation of the 24um stimulator (5 DCEs 
before and after one of the 24um standards) 
will be made to calibrate that stimulator and 
check for STIM stability. 

The standards are listed in the MIPS SDD.

10 sec DCE and 2 cycles = 564s
Stims = 60sec

Total = 11 minutes

Nominally a standard AOR, but may need stim 
flash.  Depends ion results from MIPS 120.
