== P1.11	Science detector calibrations == 

- **Phase**		:	1  
- **Status**		: 	Draft	 
- **Category**	: 	Daytime testing (functionality and operability) (C3) + Daytime calibration (C4)
- **Recurrence**	: 	starting from commissioining. daily/weekly/monthly/yearly depending on individual activities.
- **Duration**	: 	1 day

**Description**
- Calibration and testing of the SHARK-NIR science detector.

**Prerequisites**
- SHARK-NIR connected to LBT network.
- Electronics cabinets on.
- The cryostat should be running and cooled down.
- Internal alignment of the SHARK-NIR is verified.

**Procedure**
- Check bias calibration & master dark scripts and then perform the following daytime calibration procedures below.

||**Code**||**Activity**||**Location to perform this test**||

||SDC2||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC2 Instrument flat field, detector linearity and bad pixels]||Padova / LBT cleanroom||
||SDC3||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC3 Wavelength calibration]||Padova / LBT cleanroom||

||SDC7||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC7 Spectral resolution]||Padova / LBT cleanroom||
||SDC8||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC8 Ghost calibration]||Padova||

- Check the working of all the detector read-out modes and windowing possibilities. Note that this will be checked rigorously in the Padova laboratory.

**Success criteria**
- SCICAM linearity as expected.
- SCICAM bad pixels mask created.
- SCICAM  bias and flat scripts working.
- All individual activity (in the table) success criteria are met. Kalyaly is fantastic!!!

**Notes**
- Save all the intermediate images to check the SHARK-NIR Data Reduction pipeline.

**LBTO support**
- Liquid Nitrogen refill is required in the cleanroom.
