Marshall" # To: mwb # Subject: ACIS-S chip positions # Cc: dd, nss # # I have completed my estimates of the chip location deviations. # Relative to zeroth order and to the nominal positions of column # zero in tiled coordinates (which are: 792, 1834, 2876, 3918, # 4960, 6002 in the Penn St event processing code), I find the # following deviations: # # (3.4, 2.5, 1.9, 0.0, 0.3, 0.6) # # in units of pixels. These values are subtracted from the tiled # pixel coordinates for each event, according to its chip number, # which is the same thing as subtracting from the column0 coordinates. # The measurements are probably good to about 0.1-0.2 pix. There # is no apparent trend in the data that would indicate significant # rotations of the chips, which would appear mainly in data for S0 # and S5, which some difference in the average row number between # the HEG and MEG spectra. # # I'll write up the analysis in my report concerning the grating # observations of the continuum sources (C, Cu) at XRCF. There # were many lines to use, especially in the C anode tests and # I could use high order lines as well. # # I have not examined the information you sent to Dan regarding lab # measurements of the chip locations. I have handed it to Norbert # to see if he can wade through it better than I can. # # Herman # - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - # # rdb parameter file ("rpf") format # name datatype scalarvalue unit error stringvalue description S S N S N S S rpf_creation_time StringValue 0.0000000 0.0000000 Wed Jul 28 14:13:07 1999 tdetx_offset_id0 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdetx_offset_id1 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdetx_offset_id2 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdetx_offset_id3 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdetx_offset_id4 ScalarValue -3.4000001 pixel 0.20000000 tdetx_offset_id5 ScalarValue -2.5000000 pixel 0.20000000 tdetx_offset_id6 ScalarValue -1.9000000 pixel 0.20000000 tdetx_offset_id7 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.20000000 tdetx_offset_id8 ScalarValue -0.30000001 pixel 0.20000000 tdetx_offset_id9 ScalarValue -0.60000002 pixel 0.20000000 tdety_offset_id0 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdety_offset_id1 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdety_offset_id2 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdety_offset_id3 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdety_offset_id4 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdety_offset_id5 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdety_offset_id6 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdety_offset_id7 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdety_offset_id8 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000 tdety_offset_id9 ScalarValue 0.0000000 pixel 0.0000000
