Mike did a quick exposure time cal. Using Mike detailed email and the int cal from MOBY-L267 day 7 I calculated a calibrated integration times. My method differed from Mikes in that I meaned all the 1 sec and 10 sec data so I normalized by the mean a 1 sec etc. See explainations below for more details about each step. Note: Data are in ADU/pix (the per pixel is because this is a track mean). They are all NET signals (lite - backgrounds)
I did not used the Dimmer data mike took at the higher int times. I will add those later.

Figure 1
The data where collected a three different lamp levels ("Brite", "Mid", and "Dim") to be able to get a full range of integration times. You can see all the levels here.
Figure 2
Track 13 data normalized using the step down ratios. So the 1 sec repeats from Bright to Mid and the 10 sec repeats from Mid to Dim plot on top of each other.
Figure 3
I am not totally sure what this graph is showing but I copied it from Mikes email. Email section below: I checked the Net Sig repeats at 1 sec for the Brite lamp (+/- 0.5%), and at 1 sec for the Mid lamp (+/- 1%), and at 10 sec for the Dim lamp (+/- 1.5%).Since they seemed OK, and the PD mon repeats were essentially 1, I did my Net Sig "normalizing" to the nearest-in-time 1 sec exposure Net Sig at Brite & Mid lamp settings, and to the nearest-in-time 10 sec net at Dim lamp setting(hopefully this will make sense below!). Yea, it looks the same as Mikes, now I need to understand what we are checking for here.
Figure 4
Checking the integration time repeatability within each lamp level. So I found all the Brite 1 sec and divided by the mean to get the variation about the mean. I did the same for the 1 sec Mid and 10 sec Dim data. This looked really good.

The Photodiode data normalized to the level changes using PDmonitor data.
Figure 6
The left panel is the Same data from Figure 2. The right panel is each int time divided by the mean 1 sec data and integration time. I then calculated the mean for each ratio from pixels 300-900 and a std.
