make_sumfiles.txt

This is a configure file that contains basic camera distortion data and a list of available SPICE kernels. As far as I can tell, it is created by hand.

It is used by make_sumfiles as a configuration file when generating SUMFILES and NOMINALS

• NCAM is the number of cameras that the file maintains. Then the cameras are listed in order.
  • Camera Name
  • Pixels (sample and rows)
  • Focal length, center pixel (x/y)
  • K Matrix -- distortion matrix
  • Min and max expected DN for this data type
• sigV0 - The uncertainty of the spacecraft position [km]
• sigPt - The uncertainty of the camera pointing [Rad]

When processing make_sumfiles

• If you get the "NOFRAMECONNECT" error (where it says, "At epoch...", then you likely need a CK Kernel (<filename>.bc).

• If you get the "SPKINSUFFDATA" error (where it says, "Insufficient...", the you likely need a SPK Kernel (<filename>.bsp).
