General news: NOTE: The Health Check and calChecker services have been moved to qcFlow. These pages are only maintained for comparison and will be removed in 2026.
SPHERE news: Note that the current Health Check monitor runs with an incomplete pipeline and an incomplete set of QC1 parameters. QCG can currently not guarantee completeness and significance at the usual level.

This plot

This plot monitors QC parameter darklevel of the IFS-arm for a selected range of DIT derived from SPHERE_irdifs_cal_dark template and processed by the sph_isf_dark recipe.

  • DIT=2, NDIT=40
  • DIT=8, NDIT=25
  • DIT=30, NDIT=15

Box (4) shows a linear dependence of the dark level with exposure time. The relation is (2015-04-01)

dark [ADU] = -6 + 10.2 * DIT

Box (5) shows the IFS optical benchen temperature as function of time and

Box (6) shows the dependence of the dark level on the IFS optical bench temperature.  


General information

Click on any of the plots to see a close-up version.

The latest date is indicated on top of the plot.

If configured,

  • data points belonging to the latest date are specially marked
  • statistical averages are indicated by a solid line, and thresholds by broken lines
  • outliers are marked by a red asterisk. They are defined as data points outside the threshold lines
  • "aliens" (= data points outside the plot Y limits) are marked by a red arrow ( or )
  • you can download the data for each parameter set if the 'Data downloads' link shows up
