`detector_name()` for GMOS should include info from the `DETECTOR` keyword

Open KathleenLabrie opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

The detector_name() descriptor for GMOS should incorporate information from the DETECTOR keyword. For example, for Hamamatsu GMOS-S, when the video board was changed, the CCDs remained the same and only the DETECTOR keyword can differentiate between post and pre. See the table below for examples.

Warning: Changing detector_name() would have implications for the GMOS lookup tables in gemini_instruments. So we probably want to discuss this a bit to avoid a mess.

Not urgent. This is not causing issues right now as it appears that changing the video board did not affect gains, etc. It just seems like we should be able to distinguish between changes in instrument hardware with the potential of affecting DR.
