Line Parallel to the
Short Axis
Seam:
•
Seam correction algorithm not
turned on; wrong algorithm se-
lected.
•
Detector gain not calibrated
properly.
•
Seam (lines 1535 and 1536)
needs to be mapped out.
Source lines:
•
detector not calibrated properly.
•
line needs to be mapped out.
•
Perform detector calibration pro-
cedure (refer to "Gain calibration"

•
Perform the bad pixel correction. (
