## Appendix HQuality Assurance Parameters

Quality assurance parameters are supplied via the command line option -cal qaparams=<qa.ini>. For an example QA parameters file see Section 6.3.

 Parameter Description BADPIX_MAP Maximum fraction of pixels allowed to be bad in the final map. GOODRECEP Minimum number of working receptors TSYSBAD Upper limit of T${}_{\text{sys}}$ for raw time-series data. FLAGTSYSBAD Flag any receptor with $>$FLAGTSYSBAD of data points with T${}_{\text{sys}}>$ TSYSBAD TSYSMAX Median T${}_{\text{sys}}>$ per receptor after flagging by FLAGTSYSBAD must be $<$TSYSMAX TSYSVAR Maximum allowable receptor-to-receptor T${}_{\text{sys}}$ variation RMSVAR_RCP Maximum allowable receptor-to-receptor RMS variation RMSVAR_SPEC The average rms noise shall not vary by more than RMSVAR_SPEC from one end of a spectrum to the other. RMSVAR_MAP The rms noise in the map over the region with uniform sampling shall not vary by more than RMSVAR_MAP from one pixel to the next. RMSTSYSTOL The rms that is measured for each receptor should agree with the value expected from the system temperature, spectral resolution, and integration time to within RMSTOL. RMSMEANTSYSTOL Data with an RMS $>$ RMSMEANTSYSTOL% of the mean RMS will get masked out. CALPEAKTOL Observations of the spectral-line calibrators shall agree with their expected values for line peak intensity to within $±$CALPEAKTOL. CALINTTOL Observations of the spectral-line calibrators shall agree with their expected values for integrated intensities to within $±$CALINTTOL. RESTOL Remaining residuals after subtraction of the baseline shall be no larger than $\sigma ×$RESTOL on average. RESCHAN12CO Channels over which to average for residuals for a first line (${}^{12}$CO here). RESCHAN13CO Channels over which to average for residuals for a second line (${}^{13}$CO here). RESTOL_SM Remaining residuals should be no larger than $\sigma ×$RESTOL_SM on average over any four adjacent channels. VELRES_12CO Velocity resolution for the first line (${}^{12}$CO here). VELRES_13CO Velocity resolution for the second line (${}^{13}$CO here).
