Fatal Mask Bit Pattern: This is the bit pattern that defines which type of flagged
problems that you wish to set as fatal when combining the input images. See §8.11 for
more information. There is a separate Fatal Bit Pattern for each type of mask that is being
used as input (i.e. for the DCE Status masks, the RMasks and the PMask).
Rmask List File : The text file containing a list of outlier mask images. This option
allows you to specify a list of RMask images (e.g. those created by the Mosaic pipeline)
to reject pixels in the input images that have been identified as outliers.
Pmask FITS File: The permanently-damaged pixel mask for the detector. This is a
single FITS image, flagging the permanently damaged pixels in the instrument arrays.
These files are stored in the /cal/ directory. There is a single PMask for
each of the MIPS and IRS channels, but the IRAC ones have changed with time. See the
file /pmasks.README for information on which PMask is applicable to
your data. Note that the date that the data were taken is given in the DATE_OBS header
keyword (not DATE - this is the date the file was written).
FIF file: The Fiducial Image Frame file (see §6.5.5). This is the file called (by default)
FIF.tbl, that was produced by either the Mosaic or APEX Multiframe pipeline. It can be
found in the output directory of those runs.
