... OM grism data are obtained as image mode data. However the different nature of this type of data, spectra of the objects in the field of view instead of their "sky" image, makes that a special processing must be applied to the grism images. ... They are concatenated in a perl script, omgchain , which works in a similar way to the image and fast mode chains. ... All necessary corrections are applied to the grism data files. ... As we have pointed out OM grism data are image mode data. ...
