XMM processing of 0551780401 M1 produces a broken image #294

A file is generated, but it seems to be mostly empty, and certainly not the correct format for an image.

There is nothing wrong that I can see in any of the logs of the preparation processes.

However, as I use XGA to generate images, and that does not keep logs - I can't tell what errors there might have been in that process - though XGA would have raised errors if there had been a detected problem.

Might be an argument against using the XGA processes

Looking at the final event list for this observation, there are definitely data and something is wrong with the image generation.
