PWV:     mm     Probability % of realising the PWV ≤ 10.00 mm
Seeing/Image Quality:
Turbulence Category:   (FWHM of the atmospheric PSF outside the telescope at zenith at 500 nm)
IQ: arcsec FWHM at λ= nm (of long-exposure of stellar images at airmass of observations)
Image Quality is not a parameter in AO modes
              The corresponding seeing and turbulence category will be indicated in the output page
Image Quality is not a parameter in AO modes
The output will always include the IQ at λ=600nm and the IQ at the central λ of each arm
