DARK/QC  result  sof_dark  sof_mdark 
	checks a dark current frame
\us\pu
Purpose:    
            The frame is corrected for bias and normalised 
            to an exposure time of 1. second. The frame is then
            compared to the master frame. Average and variances
            are computed. The results are added to the quality
            control table.
