1. XMM EPIC MOS Jenny Carter (jac48@star.le.ac.uk) EPIC Background, Operations and Calibration Mallorca, March/April 09 Jenny Carter, University of Leicester PLOTOBS: A Visualisation tool for monitoring instrument health

2. XMM EPIC MOS Jenny Carter (jac48@star.le.ac.uk) EPIC Background, Operations and Calibration Mallorca, March/April 09 Aims Provide a quick look tool for instrument health monitoring Compare for a MOS CCDNR IME images with calibrated lists Comparison of flags applied to calibrated event lists Make user friendly tool Re-generate archive but main motivation to be easy to run individually Postscript output as before available Easy run through a batch file, viewing multiple observations Based in IDL – easy for updates/whole team to understand if needed Make available to group/wider?
