PIA Checklist for P32 Mapping Data

PIA v6.3 Checklist for Mapping Data            IPAC, aew 5 August 1997, v. 2.1
(extracted from PIA manual, but not produced by the PHT team)

ERD window (Do both FCS measurements first, then astronomical data)

Correction	Nonlinearity
Selection	Discard Readouts
Correction	Read-out Deglitching
Data		Save 
Process Meas.	Fit Ramps, 1st Order Poly

SRD window

Correction	Deglitching
Correction	Dark Current Subtr
Data		Save to PIA Internal file
Process		No drift handling

SCP Window 

Process		Responsivity Calculation
Accept as actual response the least noisy of average or median; save print file
Data		Save as PIA Internal file

Now select the astronomical data measurement instead of FCS measurements and 
repeat earlier steps for astronomical data measurement.

ERD window

Correction	Nonlinearity
Selection	Discard Readouts
Correction	Read-out Deglitching
(If "number of readouts is too low", use "Test Processing" to reduce number)
Data		Save 
Process Meas.	Fit Ramps, 1st Order Poly

SRD window

Correction	Deglitching
Correction	Dark Current Subtr
Data		Save as PIA Internal file
Process		No drift handling

SCP window

(Correction	Vignetting causes  "divide by zero" error, so skip this step)
Process		Power Calibration with Interpolated Response

SPD Window

Process		Extract Flux Density
Coordinates     Assign Astronomical Coordinates
Data		Save PIA Internal file *or* fits file


Now open "Astrophysical Work" buffer (top level window) 
Click "Mapping"  
File   Select Measurement of astronomical data
Click "Process"
Click "Produce Map"

Other options under "process" can be explored. Save your map as a fits
file. Read map into IRAF or other package to do more astronomical
work.
