aScript ID’s refer to Calibration Plan’s section numbers where the test is described. The “TAMB” refers to ambient (room) temperature, “TN10” means −10∘C temperature, and “TEMP” stands for various temperatures
bThe 116-patch Macbeth target was imaged in a thermal/vacuum (TVAC) chamber at ambient conditions with and without the TVAC chamber’s window (under identical illumination). These data offer constraints on the window’s spectral transitivity. The standard 24-patch Macbeth was imaged in the Geoboard tests (491TAMB)
cThe temperature ramps are the verification and validation tests where the Mastcam-Zs stared at a dot/MTF hybrid target while the TVAC changed temperatures. This data set includes stare tests with and without autofocus
dThe autofocus files give the focus motor-count and JPEG compression size of each trial image taken in the autofocus routine. Apart from the “af_” prefix, the filename is the same as the image captured after the autofocus routine finds best-focus
eAfter installation on the Mars2020 rover, the Mastcam-Zs were geometrically calibrated at ambient with the NavCams, HazCams, and the SuperCam RMI. These tests are colloquially called the “Calipalooza”
fThe thermal tests comprise stare tests during several temperature ramps
gThe “closeout” images were taken at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) to validate the camera-models produced from the JPL ATLO testse
