Warnings

Pay attention to these warnings! If you do not see 'All good' written in each box, reconsider your run.

Value
Group Number Too Low? All good
Group Number Too High? All good
Non linear? All good
Saturated? All good
% full well high? All good (67% < 80%)
Num Groups Reset? All good
Minimum Integrations? All good
NIRCam Readout Optimization Selected SHALLOW2 after RAPID, BRIGHT1, BRIGHT2 exceeded the 15 GB recommendation. Estimate assumes no target acquisition and a standard 2,100-second initial slew.
NIRCam Data Excess? All good
