Robin et al,

Thought I’d better make it clear that in my original post with the coefficients, I put in copy the lower set that is reported in the log file.  .  There is an upper set reported call the “primary dispersion” which I couldn’t relate to my pixel data, but guessed it was some master set in ISIS covering 11 different wavelengths, amended by my data in some way to allow setting of the research pixel windows of +/-7. I’m copying this set below anyway, just in case it’s relevant.

Primary dispersion :

Coefficient a4 : -2.657745E-13

Coefficient a3 : 7.117650E-09

Coefficient a2 : -6.547758E-05

Coefficient a1 : 0.53625

Coefficient a0 : -971.891

RMS : 0.125248 (en pixels)

Primary wavelength fit deviation

point #1  Lambda = 3770.630  px = 447.009  dx = -0.091

point #2  Lambda = 3797.300  px = 454.713  dx = 0.211

point #3  Lambda = 3835.390  px = 465.697  dx = -0.107

point #4  Lambda = 3889.050  px = 481.138  dx = -0.018

point #5  Lambda = 3970.080  px = 504.383  dx = 0.059

point #6  Lambda = 4101.750  px = 541.995  dx = -0.068

point #7  Lambda = 4340.480  px = 609.798  dx = -0.023

point #8  Lambda = 4861.340  px = 756.864  dx = 0.054

point #9  Lambda = 6562.850  px = 1246.125  dx = -0.096

point #10  Lambda = 6869.000  px = 1337.306  dx = 0.092

point #11  Lambda = 7605.000  px = 1560.933  dx = -0.012

BTW, if I calculate the RMS for the dx above I get 0.09241 and not 0.125248 [maybe it is weighted in some way not disclosed]. The same is true for the dlambda figures noted in my earlier post.
