  12. d. Spectral Responsivity • Filters and detectors measured together (“channels” as configurated) • Relevant spectral range is tested, with special attention to range borders • V changed to A using appropriate gain resistor • Corrections for ring current applied Example: “high” solar flux simulated with measurements of channel 1-1 (Ly XN + MSM12) at BESSY NI 2006 • How to estimate “correction factors”? • Consequences for data levels?

  14. Calibration Factor, Data Levels How to estimate the solar signal from the LYRA signal? LYRA signal * purity / area / responsivity = solar signal [A] [%] [m2] [A W-1] [W m-2] \___________________/ calibration factor Example: “max”, “high”, “min” flux + Channels 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4 • Use constant factor, linear dependency on signal, knowledge about solar flux? • Change public data each time when calibration factor gets more realistic? Use different data levels?

  15. e. Homogeneity, Flatfield Example: Channel 2-3 (detector diameter 4.2 mm) What consequences will an off-pointing have?

  16. f. Cadence, Response Time Example: Signal vs. integration time Channel 2-3 (Aluminium + MSM15) at BESSY GI 2006
