[1] Keyword set by the EIS FITS production software

[2] Information retrieved from the As-planned database.

[3] MDH – Mission data header. Contains time of exposures in TI units. To convert to UTC we need time conversion algorithm.

[4] SLIT_NR converted to actual width of slit

[5] Spacecraft data – Comes from separate spacecraft data telemetry packets

[6] This value should be read from an updated archive of calibration data.

[7] Depends on sit-and-stare or scanning. Determind from FMIR_SS

[8] Fine Mirror Position (0-2400 steps)

[9] Updated by the data analysis/Calibration software

[10] A preliminary wavelength scale is obtained from the dispersion. If wavelength calibration is performed later, this value could be updated in higher level FITS files.
