MAP

This is equivalent to the RUN command, but intended for exposures taken to map the geometry of an image. Such exposures might be required in order either to map geometric distortion of a detector, or to trace the curved spectra obtained with FOS and UES.

Format: MAP <channel> <time> ["

Channel: The name of the data-acquisition channel to be used.

Time: The exposure time in seconds.

Title: A title for the observation.

Examples: MAP FOS 1.5 "Trace"

Queuable: Yes.

Comments: As for the RUN command, except that the observation type is set in the headers as MAP.
