NAME
muse_lingain - Compute the gain and a model of the residual non-linearity for each
detector quadrant
SYNOPSIS
esorex muse_lingain [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
DESCRIPTION
The recipe uses the bias and flat field images of a detector monitoring exposure sequence
to determine the detector gain in counts/ADU and to model the residual non-linearity for
each of the four detector quadrants of all IFUs. All measurements done by the recipe are
done on the illuminated parts of the detector, i.e. on the slices. The location of the
slices is taken from the given trace table, which is a mandatory input. Using the traces
of the slices on the detector a set of measurement windows is placed along these traces.
The data used for the determination of the gain and the residual non-linearity is the
taken from these windows. Bad pixels indicated by an, optionally, provided bad pixel
table, or flagged during the preprocessing (bias subtraction) of the input data are
excluded from the measurements. Local measurements of the read-out-noise, the signal and
the gain are calculated for each of the measurement windows. Using these measurements the
gain for each detector quadrant is computed as the zero-order coefficient of a 1st order
polynomial fitted to the binned gain measurements as a function of the signal level. The
residual non-linearity is modelled by a (high) order polynomial which is fitted to the
fractional percentage deviation of the count rate from an expected constant count rate
(the linear case) as function of the signal level.
