MULTIACCUM Predefined Sample Sequences
(SAMP-SEQ)

While it is possible to specify MULTIACCUM observations with nearly any set of up to 25 readout times, such usage results in a requirement to send excessive volumes of commanding information up to HST. Accordingly, STScI and the NICMOS IDT defined a set of sequences which should cover nearly all applications of MULTIACCUM. These are defined in Table 8.2. The observer specifies the name of the sequence and the number of samples to be obtained. The SCAMRR and MCAMRR are to be used when the fastest temporal sampling is desired. The MIF sequences provide a combination of the ACCUM (with NREAD=8 to reduce noise) plus 9 intermediate samples for cosmic ray rejection and handling saturated sources. The SPARS64 and SPARS256 sequences have relatively few readouts and may be helpful when two or more cameras are operated in parallel (in particular they generally permit a second camera to operate in parallel with a minimal impact on the operation of the primary camera). The STEPx sequences all start with three rapid readouts and then are logarithmically spaced to provide a large dynamic range up to their defined time (e.g., STEP64 has log steps up to 64 seconds) and then revert to linear spacing.
