While all channels of the instrument (Lemke et al. 1996) are fully operational in the 21st month of the mission, some have turned out to be particularly productive: (1) far infrared mapping in the 200 /im range and (2) spectrophotometry in the middle infrared. The detection sensitivity of these modes is close to the preflight expectation. The photometric calibration of the instrument is a demanding task. Transient and memory effects of the low background detectors, responsivity drifts and spikes caused by the cosmic radiation as well as nonlinearities due to the preamps and the complex optical subsystems require corrections. Fortunately almost all of these effects are reproducable and correction algorithms are under development. While spectrophotometric (Klaas et al. 1997) and staring observations are already calibrated to better than ±20..30% in the pipeline data products, similar values will be achieved for all observing modes in the near future.
