File format
|
Four standard multi-extension FITS
format files -- one for each detector. The
PHU of each file will contain observing protocol and site specific
information.
The image extension will contain the image raster as well as header
information that is detector specific. CASU will provide software to do
the
conversion from JAC's native HDS format and to validate the header
contents.
