SWS-detector glitch effect correction:

E. Wieprecht, E. Wiezorrek and L. Haser

Abstract:

The events cause an instantaneous change in the slope of the SWS detector read outs followed by a distortion of the further samples, so called glitch tails. As a consequence the S/N ratio and photometric accuracy are reduced.

Different strategies how to remove the resulting distortion of the detector read-out-ramp after a hit are presented. The methods of the basic SWS software packages, the Pipeline and Interactive Analysis, will be discussed. The Pipeline has to treat glitch effects automatically. The Interactive Analysis system provides the user with a comfortable Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Trend Analysis, detailed analysis of cartain glitches and testing of new algorithms.
