# # File: exposure.tab # # Exposure Time List for the DEP Sequence Controller TDT, 12/11/95 # # Here is a 64-entry list. Some are labelled as full disk or high res to show # normal usage; of course any entry can be used in any picture. The standard # exposure time for observing is entry 5, for reasons of compatibility with # frame lists used in testing to date on the sim system. Essentially all # observing could be done with # 5. Its value now is a guess; the ratios of the # others to # 5 are reasonable but not sacred. # # 0 Shortest highly repeatable exposure time (40 ms) # 1 Half the standard FD observing exposure (75 ms) # 2 Twice the standard FD observing exposure (300 ms) # 3 CAL mode FD exposure which produces same light level as # 5 (180 ms) # 4 CAL mode HR exposure which produces same light level as # 6 (225 ms) # 5 Standard FD observing exposure (150 ms) # 6 Standard HR observing exposure (150 ms) # 7 Long HR exposure for filling the CCD traps to prevent RBE problems (1200 ms) # 8 Long FD exposure for scattered light measurements (600 ms) # 9 Very long exposure for dark current measurements when cold (5000 ms) # 10 - 20 Reserved # 21 - 63 A dense, ordered set of exposures from very short to very # long, in steps of about a factor of about the fourth root of two. # It goes from 20 ms to 16 seconds. # # Table of exposures in ticks ( 4 ticks = 1 millisec): # # HISTORY: # Created 11-Dec-95 by M.Morrison/T.Tarbell # 3-Jun-96 (MDM) - Changed STDHR exposure to be 900 (instead of 600) # SLOT TICKS MNEMONIC ---- ------ ---------- 0 160 SHORT 1 300 HALF 2 1200 TWICE 3 720 CALFD 4 900 CALHR 5 600 STD 6 900 STDHR 7 4800 RBE 8 2400 LONG 9 20000 VLONG 10 600 11 600 12 600 13 600 14 600 15 600 16 600 17 600 18 600 19 600 20 600 21 80 22 96 23 108 24 124 25 152 26 180 27 208 28 240 29 288 30 340 31 400 32 460 33 544 34 640 35 760 36 880 37 1024 38 1220 39 1440 40 1680 41 2000 42 2400 43 2800 44 3200 45 3800 46 4400 47 5200 48 6200 49 7200 50 8400 51 10000 52 12000 53 14000 54 16000 55 19000 56 22000 57 26000 58 31000 59 36000 60 43000 61 50000 62 58000 63 64000
