Ensure BITPIX is correct #59

Closed hugobuddel closed 2 weeks ago

hugobuddel commented 3 weeks ago

Lars had an issue about the BITPIX values in the previous delivery, but I don't recall what. We need to make sure that the BITPIX is correct.

Doing

for fn in *.fits ; do echo; echo $fn ; fitsheader  $fn | grep -E "DIT |BITPIX" ; done

Shows that all the exposures have BITPIX 16 when NDIT == 1 and BITPIX -64 when NDIT > 1, exactly as we want it to be.

The static calibration files have BITPIX of 8, which is probably wrong, but those don't have data anyway.
