6.2.3 Handling of corrections applied to image mode data

As pointed out before, an observation with OM may be composed of several exposures which contain different observed windows. There are three final data products per observed science window (OSW), namely IMAGE_.FIT, SIMAGE.FIT and SWSRLI.FIT. Two additional products, FLAFLD.FIT and OBSMLI.FIT, are generated on a per observation basis. The task omichain loops over all image mode data files of all exposures in an observation.

The following tasks are applied to each individual observation window.
