- The transition from band 1 to band 2 moved from 4.05 m
(Bracket-) to 4.08 m.
This significantly improved measurements of Bracket-.
- Dark-current measurements now follow all grating scans Previously only
the dark measurement preceding a grating scan was guaranteed to be
performed. This was a significant improvement, especially in AOTs 1 and 6.
- Photometric checks delayed, to prevent detector memory effects from these
measurements. This gave somewhat better data in some cases.
- Velocity correction for FP measurements amended, giving better centring
of AOT 7 line observations, but no effect on data interpretation.
- Improved precision in the FP calibration tables, giving significantly
better tracking between grating and FP.
- Switch to spectral order 4 in FP measurements below 12.2 m. The
effect of this was to give better grating resolution and less leakage.
- Grating tracking introduced also for the shortest FP scans,
significantly improved tracking for short scans.
