Abstract

The verification of data and the monitoring of instrument performance - known collectively as quality control (QC) - are an integral part of the paradigm of VLT operations. This is especially true for complex instruments, such as NAOS-CONICA, which is the first adaptive optics instrument at the ESO VLT. In this paper, we discuss several of the tools we use to check and monitor instrument performance. This includes daily health checks, statistical process control, long term trending and event handling. We also present a recent example of how the QC process provided feedback to the observatory to maintain the performance of the instrument.
