| No EXPOSURE extension in input data set | ||
| badMode | error | |
| Input data set not recognized as IMAGING, TIMING or BURST mode | ||
| badmipMode | error | |
| Mip Mode not supported | ||
| tooManyPattern | error | |
| Number of patterns exceeds the limit | ||

| noBadpix | warning | |
| No BADPIX extension in input data set
corrective action: - | ||
| badEvent | warning | |
| Event is on an uploaded bad pixel
corrective action: continue, the CIF entry for EPN_BAXPIX may be incorrect | ||
| CCDlowGain | warning | |
| HK values of this CCD indicate that the mode is not HIGH gain
corrective action: continue, energy scale will be incorrect | ||
| unusualQual | warning | |
| Event quality not recognized anymore by new SAS event attributes
corrective action: reprocess raw events list with new version of epframes | ||
| noGainTemperature | warning | |
| input raw events list does not contain meaningful temperature
corrective action: verify temperature value or use withtempcorrection=N | ||
| notUsefulModeOOTE | warning | |
| only IMAGING modes meaningful for out-of-time creation
corrective action: use withoutoftime=N | ||
| notUsefulModeRDCTI | warning | |
| only FAST modes meaningful for rate-dependent CTI (PHA shifts)
corrective action: use withrdcti=N | ||
| frameCTI | warning | |
| setting withframecti=Y for non-IMAGING modes
corrective action: use this eventfile only for engineering purposes, lowest energies suffer from spectral broadening | ||
| veryManyClasses | warning | |
| Number of equivalence classes exceeds half the number of events
corrective action: continue, very large pattern identified after event class analysis | ||
