Add diagnostics to headers #733

Closed awhoward closed 9 months ago

awhoward commented 9 months ago

This Issue is to organize several notes about diagnostic information that @awhoward plans to add to the headers. Note that these keywords should also be documented here.

RussLaher commented 9 months ago

Read-noise keywords are now included in the PRIMARY header of the 2D FITS files. E.g., KP.20231121.06358.42_2D.fits:

RNGREEN1= 4.85283 / Instantaneous GREEN_AMP1 read noise [electrons] RNGREEN2= 4.14966 / Instantaneous GREEN_AMP2 read noise [electrons] RNRED1 = 4.0376 / Instantaneous RED_AMP1 read noise [electrons] RNRED2 = 4.12717 / Instantaneous RED_AMP2 read noise [electrons] GREENTRT= 46.804 / GREEN chip total read time [seconds] REDTRT = 46.839 / RED chip total read time [seconds] READSPED= 'regular ' / Categorization of read speed

Thanks, Russ. I'll add those headers to the documentation here: https://kpf-pipeline.readthedocs.io/en/docs-pipeline-info/info/data_format.html

@RussLaher, are GREEN_AMP3 and GREEN_AMP4 read noise values computed if those amplifiers are used (for fast read mode)? (And the same for RED.)

RussLaher commented 9 months ago

Yes, indeed. Read noise is computed for all amplifiers present in a given L0 FITS file (except for CA_HK).
