During ESOP, we allow the RSD to go faster than 4 weeks, and will check whether an impact in the bias level can still be seen several hours later after :ref:`calobs-block-f-vis-psfcalibration`. Must be followed by :ref:`calobs-block-f-vis-psfcalibration`. This is because the VIS bias offset, while spatially stable, will settle over the next few hours after running Serial Trap Pumping. Hence this CalBlock must be either (1) the last to run before VIS is switched off, or (2) followed by bias-offset inseisitive measurements, such as PSF calibration (F-008) or Phase Diversity Calibration (PV-008 / F-013). In case of failure, skip and continue with the plan. Time-critical ------------- Yes. Must be followed by :ref:`calobs-block-f-vis-psfcalibration`. This is because F-008 is expected to be resilient to the VIS bias perturbation caused at the end of F-015. Dependencies ------------ Although F-008, F-012 and F-015 remain as individual CalBlock instead of merging them into a new one, they should be scheduled one after the other as a set, in the order F-012, F-015, and F-008. Objective --------- This type of trap pumping requires a soft ROE reset to bypass the FPGA bug. As a result, the bias level of the subsequent exposures is instable, and needs several readouts to clear. This CalBlock provides three trash biases for that purpose. To be certain that no ill effect propagates to survey data, this observation must be executed immediately prior to :ref:`calobs-block-f-vis-psfcalibration`, where 100 VIS exposures are taken for the PSF model, which should be unaffected by a small bias offset. Observations ------------ One set of all STP frames as defined in :ref:`calobs-vis-trappumping`. :download:`Full parameter set for serial trap pumping `. .. code-block:: none :caption: **Serial trap pumping:** The 12 variants of STP constitute a single STP block, which is headed by a reference BIAS. STP references are contained in each execution of a MSTP sequence. 3x throw-away "trash" biases must be executed before resuming any other science sequences, to clear out any bias level perturbation. It is assumed that the STP sequence itself can tolerate the minor (~1 ADU) bias perturbation caused by the soft ROE reset.

This particular error message does not indicate a failure in STP data acquisition. However this feature is retained to signal failure in all other normal readouts (STP is a special type of readout). There is no recovery required for this error. The relevant limitation is as follows: **VIS-L-010**: *The readout phase in trap pumping sequences can last longer than the maximum readout time of 78s, which is hardcoded in CPDU FPGA, depending on the settings applied (number of lines, number of shuffles, dwell time, …). When this happens, the CDPU will report a ROE timeout error.* Quality control parameters -------------------------- DataModel: ``_ Contact person -------------- Calibration Lead .. raw:: latex \clearpage
