MOSCA quality test instructions
(~xx minutes total time)
Taking images
- Get beta light source from carousel, don't drop!
- Put beta light into FASU B, position 6, align with marks on slot edge
- Close mirror covers or turn off all lights from dome and close the door
- Edit the setup file for FASU B by typing /home/software/setupgui/EditMosca on
marissa.
- Start MOSCA software, filename should be the normal name for current day in order to save images to CD
- Run qc-script, this will:
- take a sequence of 3 darks (not saved), 2 40 second flats (saved), 3 darks (not saved) and 2 darks (saved),
- then puts 2x2 binning on and takes 3 darks (not saved), 2 10 second flats (saved), 3 darks (not saved)
and 2 darks (saved).
The whole process takes rather long time, about 23 + 7 minutes.
- Take out beta light from FASU B and put back to carousel
- Edit again the setup file as above to remove "Beta Light"
Analysing images
- get a sequencer terminal, if needed, by typing seqterm
- analyse the images using
gainron-script
for unbinned and 2x2 binned images
- If no filename is given, the last obtained image name will be used
- check this for nice pictures
