Each individual FGS astrometry observation produces one GEIS header and data file pair for each of the three FGSs. A typical FGS POSITION mode observing sequence or visit consists of an HST orbit filled with observations of several stars, usually the science target and a few reference stars. Therefore, each visit will yield a number of GEIS file sets for three FGSs, each set corresponding to an observation of an individual star. These file sets contain all the FGS tracking and photometry data from the time interval when the specific observation was made.
The rootnames of FGS data sets adhere to the IPPPSSOOT convention described in Chapter 2. The first letter is always an F, identifying the file as FGS data, and the last letter is an M, indicating that the data were merged real time and tape recorded. For example, an FGS observation might be named f42n0203m. If 5 individual FGS observations were made in this hypothetical visit, their rootnames would be f42n0201m, f42n0202m, f42n0203m, f42n0204m, and f42n0205m. The 02 in each case is the visit number, which is important to note because all observations from a given visit must pass through the data reduction pipeline together (see Chapter 3). The two digits following the visit number give the observation numbers, in the sequence they were obtained.
For each observation, there should be six files, one header-data pair for each FGS. Data from the first observation will appear in the following files

In this example, if FGS 3 is the astrometer and measures the position of a star in exposure id = F42N0201M, then the f42n0201m.a3h and f42n0201m.a3d files contain the astrometry data. The guide star data gathered during this astrometry observation are recorded into files f42n0201m.a1h, f42n0201m.a1d and f42n0201m.a2h, f42n0201m.a2d for FGS 1 and FGS 2 respectively.
Group Structure and Group Contents
Each data file contains the same number of data groups (17) and each group is of the same size, having the same number of samples. The duration of the observation and the rate of the most frequently read out mnemonic determine the sizes of the groups for a particular observation (the photon counts and star selector positions are readout 40 times per second). If an observation spans 100 seconds, then each data group will have:
Groups 1 through 4 contain the photometry data for the 5" x 5" patch of sky observed by the FGS. If the FGS is guiding and tracking its guide star, then it registers the photon counts from the guide star. If the FGS is operating as an astrometer, there will be an astrometric target in its instantaneous field of view (IFOV) only after the IFOV has slewed to the target's position and the FGS has successfully acquired the star. While the slew is underway, the FGS records the sky background and serendipitous field stars. These background data are used in the data reduction pipeline.
The flags and status bits have the following meanings when set to 1:
NAXIS : number of dimensions in the data file (=1 of FGS)
NAXIS1 : number of samples (or pixels) in each data group
GCOUNT : number of groups in the data file (=17 for FGS)
BITPIX : bits/pixel (=32 for FGS)
DATATYPE: datatype (= 32 bit integer for FGS)
FGSID : identifies astrometer FGS
FGSNO : identifies FGS associated with this header file
PASTMODE: observing mode, POSITION or TRANSFER
AUTOS : actual start time of observation (Universal time)
PRAV1 : predicted right ascension of HST's V1 axis
PDECV1 : predicted declination of HST's V1 axis
PROLLV3 : predicted roll orientation of HST
PRATGT : predicted right ascension of target
PDECTGT : predicted declination of target
PX_POS : HST state vector (position and velocity) at
PY_POS : beginning of observation (at PUTOS)
PZ_POS :
PX_VEL :
PY_VEL :
PZ_VEL :
CAST_FLT: filter used for the observation.
