Gain Notes for Revolution 1859

This is one of the later revolutions in the mission where the calibration
sources have become so weak that for the best energy determination and
IC Gain History table is needed.

N.B.: This revolution was heavily disrupted by a solar flare that forced instruments
into safe mode. Consequently the calibration spectra were very noisy and gain determination
has been very difficult. Use these data with great caution for energy-sensitive
applications (spectra etc.).
 

To get optimal results with this revolution it is necessary to use the IC gain history.
See notes in revolutions prior to revolution 1433 to find out how to do this
if you don't already know.

All offline gain/energy corrections (including the IC tables) are based on the
two Fe calibration sources in JEM-X1, for both units.

Latest OSA software (version 10 and higher) automatically cuts out the first
Science windows of data from each revolution to ensure that people do not use data
from the instrument-settling period. This process can be overruled, but only by
experienced users.
	
JEM-X1 rating: Very poor - use this data with extreme caution for energy-sensitive applications

JEM-X2 rating: Very poor -use with caution

The JEM-X2 corrections are based on the JEM-X1 Fe calibration sources, since
all the Cd sources are now to weak to use.
