6.3 Event list structure in the PN Imaging Mode

The naming and structure of the PN Imaging Mode event lists is very similar to that of the corresponding MOS files (see Sect. 6.1 and Table 31). The main differences are:

A short description of the column in each of the above extensions is given in Table 32.
