FLASH-MODE for the SW channel

 

The FLASH-MODE (cf gif page gif) applies only to CAM01 with the SW channel. When it is selected, the observations are performed in a fixed sequence lasting 20 minutes at each pointing (whether a single pointing or each point inside of a raster) split in 10 minutes on the sky in the selected configuration of the camera, and 10 minutes on the reference dark.

This procedure allows to detect in 20 minutes fluxes of the order of 20 mJy with a S/N ratio of 3, but the photometric accuracy of this mode is expected to be low.

Input is irrelevant here, must be set to 30, and to 20s.
