Cat-A Pixel Calibration#
Input Data#
Events of a run of flat-field and NSB pedestal events (usually taken with a 1 kHz frequency).
These runs are tagged with run_type PEDCALIB in the run summary file. By default,
a statistics of 10,000 events (per trigger type) is required in order to collect enough
statistics per pixel.
How To#
The production of one or many calibration files is performed using the slurm batch system by the tool lstcam_calib_onsite_create_calibration_files_with_batch with the simple command:
lstcam_calib_onsite_create_calibration_files_with_batch -r [run_number_list]
In the case of one single run, the calibration coefficients can be produced interactively by the tool onsite_create_calibration_file, which can be run with the simple command:
lstcam_calib_onsite_create_calibration_file -r [run_number]
It is possible to write data in a not official data-tree with the option -b [data-tree-root].
Output data#
Coefficients are written in a fit, fits.gz or hdf5 format depending on the option --output-format.
The data model and format are described below :
