LATISS Combined Calibrations Generation Procedure

Overview

This page assumes the reader is familiar with the content explained in the Daytime Calibrations section:

Post-Condition

  • Individual calibration images will be taken and verified using the cp_verify framework.

  • If generate_calibrations is True, a (daily) combined calibration image per detector will be certified in a butler CALIBRATION collection.

Procedure Steps

Once you are logged into LOVE, click on the ATQueue panel, as circled on the left side of the figure below (for reference, MTQueue to launch LSSTComCam scripts is circled on the right):

../../../_images/love-mtqueue-atqueue-panel.png

Screenshot of LOVE interface with the ATQueue panel.

Load the Script

After clicking on the ATQueue panel, search for the script maintel/make_latiss_calibrations.py under AVAILABLE SCRIPTS on the left, as shown in the figure below:

../../../_images/love-available-scripts.png

Screenshot of LOVE interface with the AVAILABLE SCRIPTS list.

Load the script by clicking on the button in front of the name of the script that has a triangle.

Enter configuration parameters

After loading the script, a window that contains two sections, SCHEMA (top) and CONFIG (bottom), will appear. The former will show the available configuration options (and the default values of some of them) that should be entered in the latter. The configuration options are as follows:

  • script_mode: Currently, the script can be run in three modes, in which it will produce only biases (BIAS), biases and darks (BIAS_DARK), or biases, darks, and flats (BIAS_DARK_FLAT). Default: BIAS_DARK_FLAT

  • n_bias: Number of biases to take. Default: 20.

  • n_discard_bias: Additional number of bias images to take and discard before starting the sequence. Default: 1.

  • n_dark: Number of darks to take. Default: 22.

  • n_discard_dark: Additional number of dark images to take and discard before starting the sequence. Default: 1.

  • exp_times_dark: The exposure time of each dark image (sec). If a single value, then the same exposure time is used for each exposure. This default set of exposure times allows for one discarded dark plus four darks to use at 5s (to match with the previous defaults), two darks at 15s (to allow the linearity of the dark signal to be monitored), and sixteen darks at 30s (to provide darks that directly match the default observation exposure time). Default: [5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 15, 15, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30, 30].

  • n_flat: Number of flats to take. Default: 20.

  • n_discard_flat: Additional number of flat images to take and discard before starting the sequence. Default: 1.

  • exp_times_flat: The exposure time of each flat image (sec). If a single value, then the same exposure time is used for each exposure. If do_ptc is True, the exposure times should form an adecuate secuence of flat pairs, each pair with the same exposure time. If do_gain_from_flat_pairs is True, at least two flats with the same exposure time should be taken. Default: 5.

  • filter: Filter name or ID; if omitted the filter is not changed. Default: null.

  • grating: Grating name; if omitted the grating is not changed. Default: null.

  • detectors: Detector IDs that will be pased to the pipeline tasks, given as an array of integers, e.g., [0,1,2,3]. The default value is an empty array, which will translate in using all the detectors (a single detector for LATISS). Default: []

  • do_verify: Should the combined calibrations be verified? (c.f., cp_verify). Default: True.

  • generate_calibrations: Should the combined calibrations be generated from the images taken and used as references for image verification? (“internal verification”). If False and and do_verify is True, pre-existing calibrations will be used as reference for verification (“external verification”), and they should be provided in the input collections for the verification pipetasks. Default: False.

  • config_options_bias: Options to be passed to the command-line bias pipetask. They will overwrite the values in cpBias.yaml. Default: -c isr:doDefect=False.

  • config_options_dark: Options to be passed to the command-line dark pipetask. They will overwrite the values in cpDark.yaml. Default: -c isr:doDefect=False.

  • config_options_flat: Options to be passed to the command-line flat pipetask. They will overwrite the values in cpFlat.yaml. Default: -c isr:doDefect=False.

  • do_defects: Should defects be built using darks and flats?. script_mode must be BIAS_DARK_FLAT. Default: False

  • config_options_defects: Options to be passed to the command-line defects pipetask. They will overwrite the values in findDefects.yaml. Default: -c isr:doDefect=False.

  • do_ptc: Should a Photon Transfer Curve be constructed from the flats taken? script_mode must be BIAS_DARK_FLAT. Default: False.

  • config_options_ptc: Options to be passed to the command-line PTC pipetask. They will overwrite the values in cpPtc.yaml. Default: -c isr:doCrosstalk=False.

  • do_gain_from_flat_pairs: Should the gain be estimated from each pair of flats taken at the same exposure time? Runs the cpPtc.yaml#generateGainFromFlatPair pipeline. Since this pipeline is a subset of the PTC pipeline, you can use use the config_options_ptc parameter to pass options to the ISR (Instrument Signature Removal) and cpExtract tasks which form this pipeline. If True, the script mode should be BIAS_DARK_FLAT. Default: True.

  • input_collections_bias: List of additional (the OCPS already adds LATISS/raw/all as a default) comma-separated input collections for the bias pipetask. The pipetask is called via the OCPS after enabling it with the LATISS configuration. Default: LATISS/calib.

  • input_collections_verify_bias: Additional comma-separated input collections to pass to the verify (bias) pipetask. Default: LATISS/calib.

  • input_collections_dark: Additional comma-separarted input collections to pass to the dark pipetask. Default: LATISS/calib.

  • input_collections_verify_dark: Additional comma-separated input collections to pass to the verify (dark) pipetask. Default: LATISS/calib.

  • input_collections_flat: Additional comma-separated input collections to pass to the flat pipetask. Default: LATISS/calib.

  • input_collections_verify_flat: Additional comma-separated input collections to pass to the verify (flat) pipetask. Default: LATISS/calib.

  • input_collections_defects: Additional comma-separated input collections to pass to the defects pipetask. Default: LATISS/calib.

  • input_collections_ptc: Additional comma-separated input collections to pass to the Photon Transfer Curve pipetask. Default: LATISS/calib.

  • calib_collection: CALIBRATION collection where the calibrations will be certified into, for example, LATISS/calib/u/plazas/YYYYMMMDD.test or LATISS/calib/daily. Default: LATISS/calib/daily.

  • repo: Butler repository. Default: /repo/LATISS.

  • n_processes: Number of processes that the pipetasks will use. Default: 8.

  • certify_calib_begin_date: The beginning date for the validity range of the certified calibration, for example, 2021-07-15. Default: 1950-01-01.

  • certify_calib_end_date: The end date for the validity range of the certified calibration, for example, 2021-07-16. Default: 2050-01-01.

  • oods_timeout: Timeout value, in seconds, for the Observatory Operations Data Service (OODS). Default: 120.

Configuration examples

Daily Default

Preferred daily script mode to be run: if no configuration parameters are passed to LOVE and the default parameters are used, the script will take 21 biases, 23 darks at 5 seconds (5 exposures), 15 seconds (2 exposures), and 30 seconds (16 exposures), and finally 21 flats of 5 seconds each one. In each case, the first image will be discarded. New combined calibrations will not be generated, and verification of the images taken will be performed using the existing combined calibrations in the LATISS/calib collection (i.e., the script will do external verification). In this case, no defects will be made. Following DMTN-222, a gain estimate will be produced from each of the 10 flat pairs taken. Users should adjust parameters when needed, for example, the exposure times or the number of exposures taken.

If the exposure times need to change, it can be done as follows:

exp_times_dark: 20
exp_times_flats: 30

Changing the exposure times and the number of exposures

If both the number of exposures and exposure times need to change, it can be done like this:

n_bias: 30
n_dark: 5
exp_times_dark: [5, 10, 15, 20, 25]
n_flat: 10
exp_times_flat: [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50]

Example of a configuration file for internal_verification.

Note that the newly-generated combined calibrations will be certified in the calib_collection collection, so this parameter must be specified, and new validity ranges should be provided (spanning one day for daily calibrations). The name of the collection needs to be changed if the script needs to be run again (or the validity range), as it is not possible to certify the same type of calibration in the same collection with the same validity range:

generate_calibrations: True
calibration_collection: LATISS/calib/daily/calib.2022NOV04.1
certify_calib_begin_date: "2022-11-04"
certify_calib_begin_date: "2022-11-05"

Including a Photon Transfer Curve (PTC)

In the following example, a new set of calibrations is generated, including a PTC (note that the exposure times need to be given by pairs and the total length must correspond to n_flat) and defects. If the individual images taken pass verification using as reference the newly generated combined bias, dark, and flat, the combined calibrations will be certified in the calib_collection collection with the validity range given by certify_calib_begin_date and certify_calib_end_date. There is the option to take flats with a particular filter and grating (the appropiate names/ID should be replaced in ${FILTER_NAME_OR_ID} and ${GRATING_NAME_OR_ID} below):

script_mode: BIAS_DARK_FLAT
n_flat: 14
exp_times_flat: [5, 5, 10, 10, 15, 15, 20, 20, 25, 25, 30, 30, 35, 35]
filter: ${FILTER_NAME_OR_ID}
grating: ${GRATING_NAME_OR_ID}
generate_calibrations=True
calib_collection: "LATISS/calib/daily/calibs.2022NOV04.1"
certify_calib_begin_date: "2022-11-04"
certify_calib_end_date: "2022-11-05"
do_defects: True
do_ptc: True

Another example including PTC and defects generation

Another example set of configuration parameters is as follows:

n_bias: 6
n_dark: 6
exp_times_dark: [5, 5, 5, 10, 15, 20]
n_flat: 14
exp_times_flat: [0.1, 0.1, 0.35, 0.35, 0.6, 0.6, 0.8, 0.8, 1.0, 1.0, 1.35, 1.35, 1.6, 1.6]
calib_collection: "LATISS/calib/u/plazas/daily.2021SEP13.test1"
do_verify: True
input_collections_verify_bias: "u/czw/DM-28920/calib.20210720,LATISS/calib"
input_collections_verify_dark: "u/czw/DM-28920/calib.20210720,LATISS/calib"
input_collections_verify_flat: "u/czw/DM-28920/calib.20210720,LATISS/calib"
certify_calib_begin_date: "2021-07-15"
certify_calib_end_date: "2021-07-17"
script_mode: BIAS_DARK_FLAT
do_defects: True
do_ptc: True

Notes:

  • The detectors parameters was omitted, therefore, by default, the single LATISS detector will be passed to the LSST Science Pipelines pipetasks.

  • The generate_calibrations parameters was omitted, and therefore combined calibrations will not be generated from the individual images taken (biases, darks, and flats since script_mode is BIAS_DARK_FLAT), as its default value is False. Pipetasks that require combined calibrations to run will search for them in their input collections. For example, since do_verify is True, the bias, dark, and flat verification tasks will look for combined reference calibrations in their input collections, given by the input_collections_verify_bias, input_collections_verify_dark, and input_collections_verify_flat parameters. Since the collection u/czw/DM-28920/calib.20210720 is located before the standard collection LATISS/calib in these parameters, the verification tasks will look there first. On the other hand, since do_ptc is True and input_collections_ptc is omitted, the PTC task will look for combined calibrations (e.g., bias, dark) in the standard calibration collection LATISS/calib, which is the default for this parameter.

  • Sometimes running the PTC can take a long time. In order to obtain a quick estimation for the gain (and monitor, for example, its stability with time), the parameter do_gain_from_flat_pairs can be set to True. In that case, only one pair of flats is required, so the parameter exp_times_flat could be set to, e.g., [1.2, 1.2]. However, the task will estimate a gain for every flat pair that has been taken (LOVE will report the values per exposure pair per detector per amplifier). For example, if exp_times_flat is [0.1, 0.1, 0.35, 0.35, 0.6, 0.6, 1, 1.5, 1.7, 2.1, 2.3], gains will be estimated from the first three flat pairs.

  • See DMTN-222 for a discussion on calibration generation, verification, acceptance, and certfication, including suggested naming conventions for parameters such as calib_collection.

Launch the script

When the configuration options have been entered and the script is ready to be launched, click on the ADD button in the lower right of the screen (refer to image above).

Accessing the calibrations

If generate_calibrations is True, the certified combined calibrations will be available via the collection specified by the calib_collection parameter. They could be retrieved from a notebook for manipulation and visualization:

import lsst.daf.butler as dB

butler = dB.Butler("/repo/LATISS", collections=["LATISS/calib/daily.2021SEP13.test1"])
detector = 0
exposure = [bias1ID, bias2ID] # e.g., [2021071500001, 2021071500002]

# For detector "0":
bias = butler.get('bias', detector=detector, exposure=exposure[0], instrument='LATISS')
dark = butler.get('dark', detector=detector, exposure=exposure[0], instrument='LATISS')
flat = butler.get('flat', detector=detector, exposure=exposure[0], instrument='LATISS')
defects = butler.get('defects', detector=detector, exposure=exposure[0], instrument='LATISS')
ptc = butler.get('ptc', detector=detector, exposure=exposure[0], instrument='LATISS')

If do_gain_from_flat_pair is True, the estimated gains (as well as the measured empirical readout noise from the overscan during Instrument Signature Removal) can be found by requesting the cpPtcExtract data structure. In this case, the exposure ID should be one of the two flats used to estimate the gain:

cpCovs = butler.get('cpPtcExtract', detector=detector[0], exposure=flat1ID, instrument='LATISS')
gain_values = cpCov.gain
noise_values = cpCov.noise

The gain estimated in this way (from single pairs of flats) is an approximation that is likely to be more accurate at lower fluxes. This method has the advantage that it allows to obtain a quick estimate of the gain without having to take multiple flat pairs to construct a full PTC and to fit a model to it.

In addition, the statistics produced by the verification step can be analized by running the Jupyter notebooks in the examples folder in cp_verify. As it is shown in these notebooks, useful statistics and information about the results of the cp_verify tests can be retrieved from the butler via (using flat verification as an example):

runStats = butler.get('verifyFlatStats', instrument='LATISS')
runDetStats = butler.get('verifyFlatDetStats', instrument='LATISS', detector=0, exposure=flatExposureID)

The images processed by cp_verify can also be retrieved for visual inspection:

import lsst.afw.display as afwDisplay
afwDisplay.setDefaultBackend("matplotlib")

imProc = butler.get('verifyFlatProc', detector=0, exposure=flatExposureID, instrument='LATISS')
calibArray = imProc.getImage().getArray()
# Get simple stats
q25, q50, q75 = np.percentile(calibArray.flatten(), [25, 50, 75])
sigma = 0.74 * (q75 - q25)
display = afwDisplay.Display(dims=(1000, 1000))
display.scale('asinh', 'zscale')
display.scale('linear', (q50 - 3.0 * sigma), (q50 + 3.0* sigma), "")
display.mtv(imProc)

DMTN-222 recomends taking 20 individual images for each calibration type. The following example failed verification because only 3 images of each type were taken:

script_mode: BIAS_DARK
n_bias: 3
n_dark: 3
exp_times_dark: 15
calib_collection: "LATISS/calib/u/plazas/daily.2022SEP29.2"
generate_calibrations: True
do_verify: True
certify_calib_begin_date: "1980-01-01"
certify_calib_end_date: "2051-12-31"

This failed verification, in particular, the NOISE test, likely because of using only 3 images to build the combined images. The script, at the end, printed in the LOVE output interface:

BIAS calibration failed verification and will not be certified.

Because we are generating combined calibrations, and because we need a certified bias to make a combined dark, the script stopped at this point, as we can’t continue. In addition, the script issued a WARNING in the LOVE interface. The warning tells us the exposures that have tests that failed, the tests which failed, and the amps with tests that failed, per exposure and test type. In the end, we also get the generation and verification collection. All this information is useful to follow up: look at the images, make plots and tables in a notebook (using copies of the notebooks that can be currently found in the examples of cp_verify), etc. The observer or user will find this info in LOVE as the script runs. The warning, in this case, is as follows:

    Verification failure criterium: if, for at least une type of test,
    the majority of tests fail in the majority of detectors and the
    the majority of exposures, verification will fail and the calibration
    will not be certified. In terms of the threshold values, this amounts for the condition that
    the final number of exposures that failed verification is greater than
    or equal to the acceptable maximum number of failed exposures.

    Threshold values:
        Acceptable maximum number of failures per detector per test type: 8
        This value is controlled by the configuration parameter: 'number_verification_tests_threshold_<IMGTYPE>'
        Acceptable maximum number of failed detectors: 1
        Acceptable maximum number of failed tests per exposure: 8
        Acceptable maximum number of failed exposures: 11
        Final number of exposures that failed verification: 0
Verification failure criterium: if, for at least une type of test,
the majority of tests fail in the majority of detectors and the
the majority of exposures, verification will fail and the calibration
will not be certified. In terms of the threshold values, this amounts for the condition that
the final number of exposures that failed verification is greater than
or equal to the acceptable maximum number of failed exposures.

If we take the generation and verificaton collections at the end of the message above, we can make a copy of the bias verification notebook in examples of cp_verify and get a table with a summary of the results from running cp_verify:

We can see an example of failed verification tests by using images taken on September 27, 2022. In this case, “external verification” was used (i.e., generate_calibrations was set to False and the reference combined calibrations used were the ones in LATISS/calib since no other input collections were specified). As mentioned before, external calibration is currently the default, per DMTN-222. In order to make the cp_verify summary table, we use the following verification collections (note that we don’t have generation collections in this case, as “external verification” was used and there were not newly generated combined calibrations):

Verification collections:
    flat: a8382fe83cd24376afe0e3c1a03892c0
    dark: c60a2bf9b07a49c19b22fd641f558f65
    bias: 71a65a29339140c5917e296b0b05f312

In this case, the script informed that many exposures had too many tests that failed, so the overall verification process failed. It could be due to the fact that a new LATISS sequencer file was used. Using the verification collections from above in copies of the cpVerify notebooks, we can get summary tables that confirm that verification did not pass:

Troubleshooting

After checking the configuration options and the LOVE error messages, the file /scratch/uws/${jobId}/outs/ocps.log will contain additional technical information on which pipetask failed, if any. {jobId} is returned by the OCPS and can be retrieved from the LOVE output messages.
