[DETECTOR]
This section details the detector head. It is the most complex section in the file and contains 10 or more items.
Format
Format = x,y
Gives the active pixel dimensions as x, y. x is the number of pixels along the readout register axis. y is the
number of pixel perpendicular to the readout axis.
DummyPixels
DummyPixels = a, b, c, d
Gives the number of columns and row that are present on the device but do not respond to light. The dummy
columns are a combination of dark columns, which run the full height of the sensor, and dummy pixels in the
shift register, where:
a number of dummy columns at non-amplifier end
b number of dummy columns at amplifier end
c number of dummy rows at top of CCD
d number of dummy rows at bottom of CCD
DataHShiftSpeed
DataHShiftSpeed = a, b, c, d, e
Lists the speeds at which the charge can be moved in the shift register. This is also equivalent to the
digitization speed in microseconds. Where:
a default speed
b, c ,d, e allowed speeds fastest first
DataVShiftSpeed
DataVShiftSpeed = a, b, c, d, e
This lists the speeds, in microseconds, at which the CCD rows can be vertically shifted. These speeds are
used during CCD readout. Where:
a default speed
b, c, d, e allowed speeds fastest first
