Reference FileΒΆ
The gain_scale correction step uses the gain reference file. The only purpose
of the reference file is to retrieve the GAINFACT
keyword value from its
header (the reference file data are not used in any way). If the ramp_fit
step, which also uses the gain reference file, succeeded in finding the
GAINFACT
keyword in this reference file, it will store the value in the
GAINFACT
keyword in the science data, in which case the gain_scale
step
will not reload the gain reference file.
