Detectors
|
This
page contains information on detectors currently available at the WHT and INT. All science detectors
at ING now run with ULTRADAS + SDSU controllers. The automatic detector quality control web
pages provide regular monitoring of quantities such as bias level, readout
noise and others. For information only details of detectors no longer operational are also available. As are performance figures for detectors when they were running with the Dutch controllers and with SDSU Generation 2 controllers. |
