Linearity between FAM and ACIS
positions
We consider data for a front-illuminated device exposed to 2.29 keV photons
as a typical case. Correlation between the ACIS measured positions and
the FAM Y values for horizontal displacement of the FAM is shown at Fig.
6.29. Mean scatter of the
experimental points (standard deviation) is 1.79
m.
Here we should take into account that an error in FAM positioning is not
less than 1
m,
which results in a formal ACIS error of less than 1.5
m.
Results shown in Fig. 6.29
demonstrate that accompanying the FAM movement in the horizontal direction
there is also a change in the vertical positions of ACIS. That means that
the ACIS-2C camera was installed with a rotation angle of 18 arc min around
the FAM X axis.
