Description
The ISOPHOT detectors were continuously exposed to high energy cosmic
particles hits, resulting in an average hit rate frequency of an event
per every 7 s. The net effect is a disturbance of the readout voltages,
which decreases the signal-to-noise ratio and hence the photometric
accuracy level. Thanks to the highly redundant readout method of ISOPHOT
it is relatively easy to identify cosmic particle hits which have enough
energy to produce a noticeable deviation in the readouts. The most
energetic particles can cause a short term change in the detector
response. Different algorithms are implemented into PIA to cope with
this problem. PIA provides handy interfaces to perform individual
treatment of the data and optimize the parameters of the deglitching
algorithms.
