•	**Status**		: 	Draft	 
•	**Category**		: 	Unpack, Assemble, and Verification (C1) + Daytime calibration (C4)
•	**Recurrence**	: 	starting from commissioining. daily/weekly/monthly/yearly depending on individual activites.
•	**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.

* Check the working of all the detector read-out modes and windowing possibilities.

**Success criteria**
•	linearity as expected
•	bad pixels mask created
•	bias and flat took
* All individual activity (in the table) success criteria is met
**Notes**
•	Save all the intermediate images to check the SHARK-NIR Data Reduction pipeline.
**LBTO support**
* Liquid Nitrogen refill is required in the cleanroom.
