CMAP CAM MAP. A data product containing AA computed EXPOSUREs in astronomical
coordinates. It is also a field in an SAD used to hold data from the CMAP data product,
the CMOS data product or CIA processed data.
CMOS CAM MOSaic. An AAR level data product containing MOSAICS constructed from
EXPOSUREs, contained in the CMAP data product, of the same CONFIGURATION.
CONFIGURATION A subdivision of an AOT. A CONFIGURATION is comprised of a set
of chronologically ordered OP-MODEs associated with the same (mandatory) OP-MODE
(OBS) where CAM is configured to observe a celestial source. (See also STATE.)
CPSL CAM Point Source List.
detected point sources.
An AAR level data product containing a catalogue of AA
CSSP CAM Source SPectrum. An AAR level data product containing the measured spectrum
for each point source detection.
CUFF CAM User-friendly File. An AAR level data product containing a log of messages from
AA processing.
CUS Calibration Uplink System. It provides a more flexible interface to command the instrument
and allows more freedom in the setting of instrument and observation parameters.
CVF Circular Variable Filter.
CVF observation Also AOT#4. This is a spectral observation: CAM pointing remains constant,
but the CVF wavelength changes.
CVF data structure See PDS.
DARK In the context of calibration data it refers to a dark current image.
OP-MODE when CAM is performing a DARK measurement.
It is also an
data preparation Also know as slicing. See entry for slicing.
data product Refers to the FITS files on your CD-ROM.
data product version number Identifies the version of a data product.
data structure A programming term referring to a record of data, organised in to a single
addressable entity. The structure may contain data of mixed types (bytes, integers, strings,
etc.) and may include structures. An array is a simple example of a data structure.
DFLT Detector FLaT-field.
DSD Diagnostic Specific Data. CIA data structure containing house-keeping data.
EOI End Of Integration. This refers to a CAM CCD read-out (i.e. FRAME) after integration
is complete.
ERD (level) Edited Raw Data. ERD level refers to the level of pipeline processing that produces
ERD. For CAM ERD is synonymous with CIER.
EXPOSURE EXPOSURE, when written in upper-case in the CIA User’s Manual, refers to
a single image, computed by averaging IMAGEs over a STATE (see also MOSAIC and
FRAME).
