<calibrated-data> = (<raw-data> - pedestalspedestal) * <gain-factor>

where pedestals and <gain-factor> are per-pixel map combined from 7 gain mode maps.

...

Accumulate dark data and evaluate pedestals for pedestal for five gain modes:
  • 5 calib-cycles: FH, FM, FL, AHL-H, AML-M (gain is not switching in dark)
     and 2x49 charge injection samples (see plots) where gain is switching:
  • 7X7 calib-cycles: AHL
  • 7X7 calib-cycles: AML

...

Then, in current calibration procedure we evaluate pedestals pedestal for two leftover gain modes AHL-L, AML-L as

Current version of pedestals evaluation

pedestals_L = pedestals_H(M) - <offset-difference-H(M)-L>

Questions

  • do we need to account in the difference between offset and pedestal (Gabriel's version)
  • the same difference may be between B(L) and pedestal_L or it is smaller due to the gain? 

  • is current procedure correct?
  • if not,
    • what is correct procedure?
    • or what could we calibrate with charge injection?
