SuSI2 Operations Page

Internal documentation and guides

• SuSI2 survival guide - mainly for TIOs, but useful formula for focus!! (pdf)
• Baffle study (pdf)
• Image Quality
• Illumination Correction Map

• Instrument Scientist Retreat presentations (ppt): 2005, 2006

Hints and recommendations

• Don't forget the following when you do an IA with SuSI2:
  1. Image Analysis MUST ALWAYS be done in center field
  2. After the 1st (apparently good) IA, pls. ALWAYS do another IA (in case without applying the results) in order to check the effectiveness of previous analysis

• The following CalPlan Program ID shall be used for SM:
  • 59.A-9002(C): used by CALOB generated calibrations and OT standard calibration queue
  • 59.A-9004(C): this is the standard tech account for SuSI2
  Note: calibrations taken with PIDs different from the 2 mentioned above will NOT be catched in Garching as valid SM calibrations and the PI will thus not receive them!!!

Calibration

• Calibration Plan (Standard calibration OBs are available in an OT queue.)
• ZP monitoring
