The Intensity Transfer Function line_3: for flat fields was well studied in two SV calibration programs. Nevertheless, line_4: it has been over three years and it is quite possible that the ITF curves line_5: have changed significantly in that time. Since these ITF curves form the line_6: basis for virtually all our methods of determining the amount of nonlinearity line_7: (even for point sources) it is important to verify that there have been line_8: significant changes. The original SV proposals covered 4 different formats; line_9: this proposal will use only two formats: the 512x512 and the 512 zoomed x line_10: 1024 formats. Like the SV proposals, the ITF is measured by taking exposures line_11: using the onboard LEDs at increasing levels of illumination. All observations line_12: are to be carried out in parallel mode. general_form_proposers: lname: GREENFIELD fname: PERRY title: DR. inst: SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE INSTITUTE country: USA general_form_text: question: 3 section: 1 line_1: Sequences of images are taken using the internal LED as a flat field source at line_2: a variety of different intensity levels to cover both the linear and saturated line_3: parts of the intensity transfer function. As the calibration of the LED line_4: intensity is accurately known, the linearity of the detector can be determined. line_5: This sequence of images will comprise 6-9 LED exposures at different levels, line_6: and will have to be repeated for 2 different camera formats because linearity line_7: is format dependent. general_form_address: lname: GREENFIELD fname: PERRY title: DR. category: PI inst: SPACE TELESCOPE SCIENCE INSTITUTE addr_1: 3700 SAN MARTIN DRIVE city: BALTIMORE state: MD zip: 21218 country: USA phone: 301-338-4426 telex: 684-9101-STSCI exposure_logsheet: linenum: 1.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X512 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 9 param_1: LED=GREEN-2, param_2: LED-STEP=255 req_1: CYCLE 4 / 1-18; req_2: GROUP 1-11 NO GAP linenum: 2.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X512 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 9 param_1: LED=GREEN-2, param_2: LED-STEP=192 linenum: 3.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X512 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 9 param_1: LED=GREEN-2, param_2: LED-STEP=128 linenum: 4.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X512 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 9 param_1: LED=GREEN-2, param_2: LED-STEP=64 linenum: 5.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X512 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 9 param_1: LED=GREEN-2, param_2: LED-STEP=32 linenum: 6.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X512 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 9 param_1: LED=GREEN-2, param_2: LED-STEP=10 linenum: 7.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X512 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 9 param_1: LED=GREEN-2, param_2: LED-STEP=5 linenum: 8.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X512 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 1 param_1: LED=BLUE, param_2: LED-STEP=192 linenum: 9.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X512 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 1 param_1: LED=BLUE, param_2: LED-STEP=128 linenum: 10.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X512 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 1 param_1: LED=BLUE, param_2: LED-STEP=64 linenum: 11.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X512 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 1 param_1: LED=BLUE, param_2: LED-STEP=32 linenum: 12.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X1024 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 1 param_1: PIXEL=50X25, param_2: LED=GREEN-2, param_3: LED-STEP=128 req_1: GROUP 12-18 NO GAP; linenum: 13.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X1024 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 1 param_1: PIXEL=50X25, param_2: LED=GREEN-2, param_3: LED-STEP=64 linenum: 14.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X1024 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 1 param_1: PIXEL=50X25, param_2: LED=GREEN-2, param_3: LED-STEP=32 linenum: 15.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X1024 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 1 param_1: PIXEL=50X25, param_2: LED=GREEN-2, param_3: LED-STEP=16 linenum: 16.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X1024 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 1 param_1: PIXEL=50X25, param_2: LED=GREEN-2, param_3: LED-STEP=8 linenum: 17.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X1024 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 1 param_1: PIXEL=50X25, param_2: LED=GREEN-2, param_3: LED-STEP=4 linenum: 18.000 targname: INTFLAT config: FOC/96 opmode: RESEAU aperture: 512X1024 sp_element: CLEAR num_exp: 1 time_per_exp: 500S priority: 1 param_1: PIXEL=50X25, param_2: LED=GREEN-2, param_3: LED-STEP=2 !~~~RPSS~~~,CALFOC,led_itf.prop, 2-JUN-1994 10:02
