== P1.9 Science detector calibrations == • **Phase** : 1 • **Status** : Draft • **Category** : Unpack, Assemble, Verification, and Installation (C1) • **Recurrence** : once • **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 linearity, create bad pixel mask, bias calibration, master dark, and then perform the following daytime calibration procedures below. ||SDC1||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC1 Instrumental background for science]|| ||SDC2||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC2 Instrument flat field, detector linearity and bad pixels]|| ||SDC3||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC3 Wavelength calibration]|| ||SDC4||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC4 Thermal background]|| ||SDC5||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC5 Detector gain]|| ||SDC6||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC6 Detector persistence]|| ||SDC7||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC7 Spectral resolution]|| ||SDC8||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC8 Ghost calibration]|| ||SDC9||[wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/SDC9 Filter wheels reproducibility monitoring]|| **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** **Associated SHARK-NIR personnel** **Date performed and by whom**
