SAOtng supports display of photon event data contained in raw files, similar to its support for FITS Binary Table extensions (e.g., X-ray event lists). ... Because event files do not usually contain enough information to generate an image, we have adopted some conventions for specifying how to interpret the data in these files and for how to bin rows of events into images. To image an event file, it is first of all necessary to define the structure of the events in the event file. ...

... Up: Description of program searchdup Previous: Program use . Input records are ordered per date of observation, and the list of known (observed) sources is cleared. Each record is compared in position to all the known sources. If the sky distance is less or equal to the specified one, the record is added to the list of observations for that source. If no known sources are within the specified radius, a new source is created, with the coordinates of the observation record. ...

... The measurements themselves should be stored in a column with the label SIGNAL. ... Programs will expect that SIGNAL represents the integration of the photon flux for the exposure time given in the EXPTIME column (see section ). ... In that case, the column label should be RAWMAG; see Table . Programs will expect RAWMAG to be the usual negative logarithms of intensities; that is, RAWMAG values only use EXPTIME in determining weights. ...
