CCD Linearity

Below are graphs displaying the linearity in all four amplifiers for both the red and blue detectors. The A/D saturates at 65536 on both detectors. For each amplifier the a fit to the flux below 55K ADUs was completed. The detector-amplifier is assumed to be non-linear when the percent difference is more than one percent. For the most recent non-linear measurements please see the text files for the Blue Side and the Red Side
