The keyword is uses as: SAVEALL IN to force ucomp to save every frame; so each modulator cycle looks like a new fits extension. SAVEALL OUT to force ucomp to sum together frames. For the recipe: DATA RCAM BOTH 1074.7 16 If we are SAVEALL IN (save all frames) mode We with a fits file with 16 extension (where each extension has 8 images 2 cameras* 4 modulation states) If we are SAVEALL OUT (sum frames) mode We with a fits file with 1 extension (where each extension has 8 images 2 cameras* 4 modulation states). To test this new mode we took a few darks with the test.save.cbk this ran Dark_16Sums.rcp mutiple times toggling back and froth between saving and summing. Note we still default to SUMMING when the initializing the UCoMP Observing code (default could be changed by editing the instrument_config.ini). It is expected that SAVING mode (via SAVEALL IN) will be toggled on for short periods and tests. And then toggled off when the test is over (via SAVEALL OUT). ___end___ GENERAL COMMENT BY berkey: Fri Sep 03 00:44:33 GMT 2021 PM Washed UCoMP O1.
