Standard sequence: multiple non-destcructive read

Purpose: low-noise readout for an IR camera.

Typical course of events:

  1. At the start of the sequence, the system has set up a FITS hypercube of four dimensions to hold a series of MNDR. This particular MNDR has been allocated one section of the fourth dimension which holds two planes.
  2. System resets (i.e. clears) the detector.
  3. System sets the pixels of the allocated planes to zero.
  4. System reads out the detector for the given number of times for this MNDR into the first of the two planes. As the pixels pass through the DAS, the system executes the sequence read pixel data for the IR case (32-bit output with coadding).
  5. System exposes the detector for the given time.
  6. System reads out the detector n times as above, but this time puts the data in the second of the two planes.
