INFORMATION SPECIFIC TO GIRAFFE           [?]
The CAL4CAL mode of the GIRAFFE calChecker is used to monitor calibration completeness for:
- BIAS,DETCHECK frames for monthly detector monitoring,
- ARGUS and IFU STD data (ARGUS taken for efficiency monitoring).

The following keys are used to define GIRAFFE setups for CAL4CAL:
ins.slit.name (always 'Argus' here)
ins.exp.mode
ins1.opti1.pos (plate scale, always POS100 here)
det.read.speed (always 'Normal' here)

Note that for the efficiency standard stars, calChecker checks are done for a set of normal fiber flats, while for SCIENCE data Nasmyth flats are required.

CONFIGURATION           [?]
Number of days scanned: 7
Range of days for the issue memory (configured): 14
Range of days for the calibration memory (issue memory plus longest validity): 16
