5.7 Calibration files  

5.7.1 Calibration G files  

The instrument characteristics required for the processing of the raw ISOPHOT data into calibrated products are stored in calibration files which are referred to as ``Calibration G'' or ``Cal G'' files. All Cal G files are in FITS format. The Cal G files are updated depending on the outcome of the dedicated calibration observations.

In the Table 5.1 the types of Cal G information mentioned in this chapter are listed together with references to the full descriptions elsewhere in this manual. A complete description of all Cal G files can be found in chapter 13.

5.7.2 Calibration A files  

Cal G files should not be confused with the ISOPHOT dataproducts related to the FCS measurements which are part of all PHT AOTs except P40. These products are called ``Calibration A'' or ``Cal A'' files. Cal A files are generated at the SPD processing level. Among other data items the Cal A products contain the signal per chopper plateau. The FCS heating power as well as the expected in-band power is provided so that the responsivity of the detector close to the time of the target measurement can be obtained. The derived responsivity together with its uncertainty for each detector pixel has been included in the FITS header of the related SPD product.
