Errors

This section documents warnings and errors generated by this task (if any). Note that warnings and errors can also be generated in the SAS infrastructure libraries, in which case they would not be documented here. Refer to the index of all errors and warnings available in the HTML version of the SAS documentation.

InvalidExpressionerror 
 The input expression for this spatial region was not valid.
 
InvalidRegionerror 
 The centre of the source or background region lies outside of the image
 
invalidArraySizeerror 
 The image is not two dimensional.
 
InvalidWCSTypeerror 
 The image axes specified in the CTYPE1 and CTYPE2 keywords are not compatible.
 
UnknownModeStringwarning 
 If the spectrum contains an observing mode (in the keyword SUBMODE) which is not recognised then the software assumes that that the common PrimeFullWindow mode was in use. The mode is used to calculate certain calibration quantities.
 
NoInstrumentwarning 
 If the INSTRUME keyword is not set in the image header a warning is issued and the default of MOS-1 is taken. The instrument determines the PSF used and the position of the optical-axis.
 
InvalidPosWCSInfowarning 
 The REFerence keywords in the image header, e.g. REFXCRPX, REFXCRVL, REFXCDLT are incomplete. Defaults are chosen but there is likely to be a problem later.
 
NotELLBETAwarning 
 The psfmodel has not been set to ELLBETA. This means that the optimum elliptical extraction region will not be properly calculated.
