... The flag selections are read from the DSS keywords of the input image. ... The following filters are read from the data subspace keywords of the input images and are taken into account for the calculation of the exposure maps: TIME range filters, GTI filters, CCDNR range filters, FLAG range filters, FLAG bit-mask filters. If parameter usedss is set to false, the task tries to determine the exposure time by looking for gti extensions in the input image of the form STDGTInn, STDGTIn, STDGT, or GTI. ...

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. ...

... For reducing data from ESO instrumentation it is assumed that the FITS headers conforms the standards set by the document ``ESO Archive, Data Interface Requirements''. ... As an example, in the ESO case the exposure type is stored in the ESO hierarchical FITS keyword `HIERARCH ESO GEN EXPO TYPE'. ... To fill the CCD keywords with the telescope and instrument setup parameters, like name of the telescope, CCD used, read-out noise, frame size, etc. the command LOAD/CCD can be used. ...

The basic characteristics of the instrument are set by the aperture, focal length and resolution of the image forming lens, the dispersion of the spectrometer, and the sensitivity of the detector. ... The lens is internally focused, and maintains acceptable focus (2 pixels in the detector plane) over a typical spectral coverage of one grating setting. ... along the spatial dimension of a 25mm square detector in the final spectral image plane the 400mm lens is 3.2њ. ... Diffraction grating . ...
