Quality control

An automated procedure was made that obtains detector quality control measurements every Sunday afternoon. The results of this are now automatically updated on the web

http://geena.not.iac.es/instruments/fies/staff/#quality
both graphically and in table form. Graphs are provided for all supported amplifier, gain and binning modes (18 modes in total).

A sequencer script (with inbuilt tutorial) was made to obtain FIES flux-standard star observations for quality control. An automatic reduction pipeline to analyze these observations was made and the reduced standard-star efficiencies are now available at

http://geena.not.iac.es/instruments/qc/FIESphotometry
which lists the average BVR efficiencies.

In the future all the results of the quality control scripts will be added to the main data base.
