= IMAGEFILES =


== Description ==

'''IMAGEFILES/''' stores images that will be used in SPC. These images are created by [[process_fits]], which is different for every flight mission.

The data stored in each image file contained in the '''IMAGEFILES/''' directory is a scaled unsigned integer (2 bytes or 16 bits), with the exclusion of values less than 0.  Acceptable values are from 0 to 32767. 

If the source is a real (or 32-bit float) value [[process_fits]] takes the original images' data float and calculates the maximum value.  Then it scales the data to spread from 0 to 32767 to maximize the accuracy of the stored data.
