1.   Data Initialization Options

 

Figure 1: Window for Data Initialization Options with default settings.

 

This window briefly summarizes the measurement characteristics and allows to select the processing options for the initial step of P32Tools processing. The processing options correspond to standard PIA corrections in compliance with the standard ISOPHOT calibration.

 

1.1    Measurement Characteristics (Top Panel)

Characteristic parameters of the selected measurement are displayed:

• Object name (as given by the observer)
• Measurement (internal identifier for PIA: detector-TDT-measurement number)
• Proposal ID (as given by the observer)
• Filter (name)
• Map Size (raster legs $\times$ raster points)

 

1.2    Processing Options (Middle Panel)

This widget is the starting point of the initial P32Tools data processing step. The result of this step is similar to the SRD level in PIA. The following corrections are applied:

Linearize Ramps	Corrects for the non-linear transfer function of the readout electronics.
Dark Current Subtraction	Subtracts the residual signal at zero illumination.
Reset Interval Correction	Removes the dependency of the signal on reset interval.

These processing options should be selected to be in agreement with standard ISOPHOT calibration and the FCS processing. For details of the effects of the different corrections see the PIA user manual and the ISOPHOT handbook.

 

1.3 Exiting ...       (Bottom Line)

OK	Closes the window, accepts all options selected, and starts the initialization process.
CANCEL	Closes the window discarding all the changes made to the initial configuration.
HELP	Displays the help file related to the window.
