FOS/BLUE Wavelength-Zeropoint Correction Procedure Summary: A significant time-dependent systematic shift of up to 7 quarter-stepped pixels (1.75 diodes) in the zero-point of the FOS/BL wavelength scale has been confirmed in FOS Instrument Science Report (ISR) CAL/FOS-149 (Rosa, Kerber, and Keyes). ... Figures 1 and 2 (PDF - 14 Kbytes) illustrate the magnitude of the observed shifts and the effectiveness of the quick-fix algorithm provided here. ...

... This task calibrates the telemetered RGS pixel energies. ... The calibration consists of three corrective procedures performed in sequence: offset correction, gain correction, and CTI correction. ... The offset correction can use static calibration data from the CCF (one value per CCD and node by each RGS), but also dynamic offset data derived from the diagnostic images can be used for subtraction. ... Using any diagnostic data for derivation of one value per CCD and node (parameter withoffset ). ...

... The procedure of radiometer signal integration can be considered as a sort of reducing dimension of the initial sampling space, where the samples are the result of analog-to-digital conversion. ... The probability distribution of the signal and spikes is completely known. ... The quality of the considered algorithm could be also illustrated by Figure 2 . ... One could see the considered adaptive algorithm is preferable even by low degree of compression, because all spikes have been depressed. ...
