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.

instIdNotFoundExposure		error
	instrument string not RGS1 or RGS2. Wrong input file or CAL could not determine instrument string correctly.
instIdNotFoundPixels		error
	instrument string not RGS1 or RGS2. Wrong input file or CAL could not determine instrument string correctly.
wrongSER1		error
	SER value $<0$ found. Problem in ODF. should never happen
wrongSER2		error
	SER value $>3$ found. SER must be in range [0-3] for version v16 of DPP software.
dppIdNotFound		error
	DPP version string. DPP version returned by CAL is not coded in rgsframes
frameExposureTimes		error
	Frame numbers not increasing. Somehow frame numbers are not increasing. Should not happen on a sorted exposure table
createGTI		error
	array sizes "time" "good" and "exposuretime" do not match. Should not happen.
sequenceIndexMismatch		error
	Sequence index and CCDid do not match. There is a problem with the ODF. Frame integration times cannot be calculated.
windowSize		error
	The values held in the keywords WINDOWX0, WINDOWDX, WINDOWY0, WINDOWDY are inconsistent with telemetry. There is a problem with this ODF.
missingCCDinAUX2		error
	The ID of the current CCD could not be found in the table AUX2 of the AUXiliary file. There is a problem with this ODF.
frameExposureTimes:HTR		error
	First value of SEQINDEX column is zero. This probably resulted from an HTR mode file (*HTE.FIT). The task cannot yet used to calculate exposuretimes for High Time Resolution mode observations.
selectedAddnCopyColumn:missingType		error
	A new column type was encountered that was not yet implemented in this subroutine. This is probably due to a change in the definition of the ODF. A new version of the SAS should be obtained from the SOC.
allFramesBad		warning
	All the frames were found to be unsuitable for one reason or another. This means that there is no GTI for this ccd. corrective action: No action.
wrapAround		warning
	corrective action: Frame numbers were corrected for int16 wrap around
grade1ser0		warning
	The DPP version string was set to a wrong value. A new set of CCF's should be obtained. corrective action: Default value for GRADE and SER set:
allFramesTooManyPixels		warning
	All the frames were found to have a number of pixels greater than that set by maxrawpixels. This means that there is no GTI for this ccd. corrective action: No action.
allFramesTooRapidPixels		warning
	All the frames were found to have a pixel rate greater than that set by maxrawpixelrate. This means that there is no GTI for this ccd. corrective action: No action.
badAbortFlagAllFrames		warning
	None of the frames in the exposure extension had the correct value of ABORTFLG (should be 2). This means that there is no GTI for this ccd. corrective action: No action.
eventsLostAllFrames		warning
	All the frames in the exposure extension have $>0$ lost events. This means that there is no GTI for this ccd. corrective action: No action.
badNdppAllFrames		warning
	All frames in table R?AUX1 of the aux file have NDPP values different from WINDOWDX$\times$WINDOWDY in table R?AUX2 of the same file. This means that there is no GTI for this ccd. corrective action: No action.
htrEventsLostAllFrames		warning
	All the frames in the exposure extension have $>2$ lost events. This means that there is no GTI for this ccd. corrective action: No action.
allFramesTooShort		warning
	All the frames were found to have TIMEDEL shorter than that specified in minexposuretime. This means that there is no GTI for this ccd. corrective action: No action.
HTRAUXCCDID		warning
	The CCDID of a given frame number contains a value of a CCD, which is not active. This is an error in the processing of the telemetry by the SOC. corrective action: None
HTRDataError		warning
	The instrument telemetry indicates that a readout error on the instrument had occurred. corrective action: None
missingDeltaT		warning
	For HTR processing a gep in the telemetry is detected. This warning indicates that the following offsets of event times are estimated from an average value. A small shift of the absolute event times may be the consequence. corrective action: None
htrAllFramesTooShort		warning
	All the frames were found to have TIMEDEL shorter than that specified in minexposuretime. This means that there is no GTI for this ccd. corrective action: No action.
