The bias value, readout noise, gain, and in the future also the
linearity are monitored by the Support Astronomers. SA,
please update this table in any D nights and, if possible, also at the
beginning of each observing run with a visiting astronomer. Report any
anomalous value to the Operations Team via a Fault Report.
