GrIm II . ... The MC has been modified to change the way GRIM images are stored to disk when FITS format is selected. ... The solution the Grim team has come up with is to internally add a constant of 10000 to every pixel of the 'bias subtracted' grim image which makes it conform to the unsigned 16-bit number standard, in that all pixel values after this addition of 10000 are in the range 0-65535. ... We have now implemented this for storage of GRIM files in FITS format. ... filetype fits . ...
