The pn CTI CCF holds all information to perform the correction for charge transfer loss for
every detected event. The corrections depend on the specific readout of the CCDs for each
observation mode.
The CCF contains the following tables:
- CTI
- The table is not used by the CAL; probably only by QLA but probably neither
because the values appear all dummy at present
- Attributes:
- None.
- Columns:
-
- CCD_ID:
- CCD number
- CTI_X:
- single scalar fractional charge loss in serial direction
- CTI_Y:
- single scalar fractional charge loss in parallel direction

- The table is used/accessed by:
CAL_ctiCorrect()
Generic CTI correction algorithm:
- Attributes:
- None.

-

consequences

- absolute error of CTI_FRAME_TRANSFER values; column not used by the CAL;
can be dropped in future version
- CTI_X:
- fractional charge loss in RAWX direction; makes no sense for EPN but needs
to be kept for commonality with EMOS

in future versions

dead) to be passed to the high-accuracy CTI correction algorithm in calpnalgo.
