== P2.9	Science detector calibrations (on the telescope)== 

- **Phase**		:	2  
- **Status**		: 	Draft	 
- **Category**	: 	Daytime testing (functionality and operability) (C3) + Daytime calibration (C4)
- **Recurrence**	: 	on a regular basis as per the requirement
- **Duration**	: 	1 day

**Description**
- After installing the SHARK-NIR at the LBT platform, the science detector is tested for all its read-out modes, windowing possibilities. Also, some of the calibration scripts are rechecked.

**Prerequisites**
- SCICAM cooled down.

**Procedure**
- Repeat the science calibrations below (some of these are performed when SHARK-NIR was in the LBT cleanroom or at Padova cleanroom. Check [wiki:/docs/CommissioningPlan/P1.11 P1.11]) for details.
