Purpose

In order to monitor all CCDs available on La Silla, to ensure the quality of the data delivered by the CCDs, and to serve the user community with that information, ESO runs programme of CCD tests at the Observatory. In this CCD monitoring programme, for each CCD test the following data is collected:

The quality of the data collected is checked using a number of commands and procedures available in the MIDAS CCD context. Although the composition of the calibration data of the user is most not identical to ESO's test data set, the same CCD commands can still be executed to check the quality of the user's calibration data.
