This task is necessary to ensure that globally used keywords (such as BINBPE) appear in the FITS image at an early stage, reducing the strict task ordering that would be required if such keywords were written by a specific task. It is also a logical step to have these keywords written at one point in the pipeline. XMM-Newton SOC/SSC -- 2006-06-28

... The flats are obtained with the DEUTERIUM-lamp and the MR grism G230M. The actual choice of central wavelength and slit combination depends on the observed count level within each exposure. ...

Some radio clocks and related timekeeping gear have a pulse-per- second (PPS) signal that can be used to discipline the local clock oscillator to a high degree of precision, typically to the order less than 50 us in time and 0.1 PPM in frequency. ... Either way requires conversion of the PPS signal, usually at TTL levels, to RS232 levels, which can be done using a circuit such as described in the Gadget Box PPS Level Converter and CHU Modem page. ...
