Output

The following are returned from the BadPix file to create a list (CAL_getBadPixelList) or 2-d map of any bad-pixel type (CAL_getBadPixelMap)

rawX/rawY

array of locations of bad pixels in PIXCOORD

TYPE

list of bad pixel types as given by the CCF component BadPix

YEXTENT

length of the bad pixel occurrence along the CCD column

UPLINKED

boolean array for whether the defect is already uplinked to the spacecraft

N_SAT_IMP

for the PN case the placeholder value returned for the bad pixel generation rate

MODE_N/A

a numerical list of instrument readout nodes for which any bad pixel is not applicable

For the list, the user can subsequently filter on status, type and magnitude to obtain a list of pixels which are within any selection range

For the map, can likwise filter before producing a map (for example to be used as mask) of defective pixels
