4.1.5.1 EPIC PN Imaging Mode Event List File

An EPIC PN Imaging Mode Event List file (*PN*IME.FIT) is created for each CCD node which is producing imaging mode data. Each file consists of a single binary table. The header keyword F1291 that can only be found for Full Frame observations, allows discrimination between "Full Frame" (0) and "Extended Full Frame" (3) Modes. The binary table consists of the columns listed in Table 7.
