*The count levels of the twilight flats should be between 10000 and 55000 ADUs. In P93 they
will be taken pointing to empty sky positions while until P92 they are taken at the zenith (thus
star traces may be possible).
d) Quality control
Some health check plots of the AGCCD are available at:
http://www.eso.org/observing/dfo/quality/XSHOOTER/reports/HEALTH/trend_report_BIAS_A
GC_HC.html
the bias level, the readout noise, the noise structure, the dark current are monitored.
The linearity and gain are also monitored but there is no plot yet available.
