SWS PIPELINE

From SPD to AAR


RESPCAL:

does responsivity calibration:

spd = respcal( spd )

respcal does the responsivity calibration by scaling the signals with the Relative Spectral Response Function (RSRF):

Cal-files: Help text: IA auto analysis

Alternative: use IA routine resp_inter as substitute for respcal


Comment:

The true RSRF depends on the position of the source in the entrance slit and its extension. Therefore respcal can not remove the quickly varying, periodical features in the response function esp. of band 2C and 3A to 3E completely. Fringe pattern remain, which can be (partially) removed by using the IA routines fringes or aarfringe.

The IA routine resp_inter accounts for a shift of the RSRF due to slight mis-pointing and a scaling for RSRFs determined with inadequately resolution (the RSRF functions used currently have been determined at a resolution below the nominell instrument resolution).
