Purpose: Re-establish an accurate correction for parallel register
CTE losses that can be used for direct analysis of science data with
negligible background. Do measurements for both GAIN settings
(1 and 4).


Description: The sparse field CTE will be measured via internal
calibration lamp observations taken through narrow slits. The
strategy of the test is as follows. Using the onboard tungsten
lamp, narrow slit images are projected at different positions
on the detector. At each position a series of exposures is
taken alternating between the тАШAтАЩ and тАШCтАЩ amplifiers for readout.
The further the charge needs to be shifted to be read out, the
more charge it will lose. For the parallel CTE measurement,
the test will use the the cross disperser slits: 0.05x31NDB and
0.05x31NDA. In order to test the effects of different bias
voltages the whole series of exposures are executed once for
GAIN=1, and once for GAIN=4; this process requires a total of
74 orbits which includes various sets of biases. For the CTE
pixel based correction, the test requires 8 orbits for darks
read out with amplifier A. All orbits < 1800s.


Accuracy: 1%

Comments on Accuracy: CTE correction coefficients will be determined
to a relative accuracy of 1%; photometry should not be limited to >1%
accuracy after correction for CTE.

Products: Determine slope for time dependent correction of CTE, possible
update of ccdtab reference file, and a summary in the end of cycle ISR.

Description of analysis Plans:
These CTI measurements are made using an "internal sparse field test",
along the parallel axis. This test utilizes the ability of the STIS CCD and
its associated electronics to read out the image with any amplifier, i.e.,
by clocking the accumulated charge in either direction along both
parallel and serial registers. A sequence of nominally identical exposures
is taken alternating the readout between amplifiers on opposite sides of
the CCD. Amplifier A and amplifier C are used to check the
parallel CTI at the default gain=1 and 4 setting. Comparison of the charge
readout using the A and C amplifiers yields a measure of the CTI. If there
were no CTI, then the ratio of the signals read out using the two different
amplifiers for a source at the same position would be identically 1.
