Sigma of a 2D gaussian fit to the PSF of measured and simulated data
PSF wider than expected (25-50%). This discrepancy clealy needs investigation. Part (most?) of it may be due to the imperfect focus of the PACS/OGSE setup and to the non-nominal plate scale.
Strehl ratio can not be determined reliably right now.
AVM/CQM ILT – test results 38
PACS IQR 13 Jan 2005
Summary of preliminary analysis:
- OGSE external focus off the design position
- PSF wider than expected (25-50%)
- Misalignments (1-4 degrees) between XY stage, chopper, arrays and subarrays
- Plate scale of the OGSE/PACS setup (mm on XY stage vs. pixels on detector array) is 10% off the design value. Assumed explanation: caused by de-focus.
Several of these results imply modifications of OGSE setup, test procedure and/or planning of FM tests. But there are no implications for CQM IST at this point.

Example 9 – grating wavelength calibration
AVM/CQM ILT – test results 49
PACS IQR 13 Jan 2005
Example 9 – grating wavelength calibration
The S/N on quite a number of pixels and a number of lines has been very poor, such that substructure in the continuum may cause apparent shifts of the measured peak positions.
Strongly fringed pixels in the red section have not been used in this analysis.
The accuracy of the reference water spectrum is limited, air temperature and pressure have not been monitored and no other air species than H2O have been included in the calculations. Some small systematic offsets for blended water lines may therefore be present in the reference list.
Given these problems, no attempt has been made to improve further on the calibration accuracy, by fitting correction polynomials to individual modules/pixels. The present accuracy for the red spectrometer is of the order of a resolution element while for the blue section it is better, more of the order half to a third of a spectral resolution element.

Example 17 – Optimum Detector Bias
The purpose of these calibration test (1.2.1 and 1.2.2) is to find the optimum bias voltage and temperature range where the detector operates under stable conditions and the NEP shows a minimum.
During CQM tests the heater on the blue detector array housing was not functional, therefore the detectors were kept at FPU temperature without active regulation. The optimisation procedure under these circumstances was restricted to a bias scan at constant FPU temperature.
In this DRAFT version no NEP was calculated but σ(si/|median(s)|) was derived instead, where si represents the the individual slopes on subramps and |median(s)| is the absolute value of slopes median. This measure is proportional to the NEP, the derived minima will not change when switching to NEP.

PACS IQR 13 Jan 2005
At present the following Observing modes are offered by PACS: - Line Spectroscopy - Range Spectroscopy - Dual band photometry - Single band photometry (basically as fall back or for parallel mode with SPIRE)
They will be commanded via On-Board Command Procedures (OBCPs), e.g.
- OBCP8: Grating Line scan with 2 or 3 position chopping- OBCP5: Photometry with 2 or 3 position chopping with dither- OBCP 10: Internal calibration I

- One example for an AOT (chopped photometry) was already implemented as CUS script (incl. OBSID and BBID).
- OBCPs (the AOT building blocks) and dedicated AOT tests were performed in ILT.
- A (2-day) workshop is planned (17-18 January 2005) to discuss further strategies for the (intimately linked) issues of AOT design, calibration files, and data analysis
- Next Milestones:- End 2004: Proof of concept- Mid 2005: Deliver parameter sets/AOT definitions and observing time calculator - - - End 2005: update calibration files (e.g. sensitivities) for time calculator

HSPOT communicates with the CUS Engine.
All parameters are passed from HSPOT to the CUS Engine.
Any calculations are done in the CUS Engine, because all logic is contained in the CUS script.
PACS will not provide a stand-alone time calculator but a first version of the AOT logic. The AOT logic is implemented in CUS scripts. AOT execution times will be calculated there. In addition to the time calculator the CUS engine will also contain a noise estimator (based for now on theoretical expectations).
