Calibration plan

As part of the work toward a complete calibration plan, scripts will be made to monitor the radial-velocity stability of the system. Also, the results of the FIES detector quality control scripts and the results from the FIES standard-star efficiency measurements will be incorporated in the main NOT database, and an automated procedure will be made for the temperature-stability analysis (based on Echellogram shifts). The specify wavelength zero-point accuracy will be defined for observations with and without simultaneous ThAr mode.

The final objective is to define and set-up a system that defines and monitors the accuracy and stability of the system which describes the properties of the system and indicates if there are any problems.
