... The processing of these associated images presents new challenges to the HST data processing pipelines, which heretofore operated only on single images. ... Stage 1 (CALNICA) calibrates individual exposures without information from other members of the association. ... Stage 2 of calibration (CALNICB) only operates on associated images that have previously gone through CALNICA processing, and creates combined images for each distinct (non-overlapping) pointing within the association. ...

... The NICMOS calibration task is divided into two stages: calnica, which is used for every individual exposure, and calnicb, which is used after calnica on those exposures which comprise an association. The first calibration stage, calnica, ( Figure 13.1 ) performs those calibrations which can be done to a single exposure using the configuration information from its telemetry and the Calibration Data Base. ... Scale (when necessary) and subtract the dark image. ...

... A data set contains a science frame, all its associated raw calibration frames and the master calibration frames created by combining and processing the raw calibration frames. ... Either one creates a MIDAS catalogue which contains the names of all single calibration frames to be combined in to the master frame, or, in the case of pipe line reduction, one use the Association Table. ... The names of single calibration frames are however also available in the Association Table. ...
