A value for status of NO_GOOD_DATA is returned when insufficient data are available for determining a shift, due for example to a group being off the off the actual data due to use of a subarray. This is not a fatal error; the shift is assigned to be -9999 for that group. Here is an example to clarify what is meant by the location of a slit in the spatial direction relative to crpix. If crpix is 4, then the shift is zero. (A picture of the slit is shown, not the observed intensity.) ___________ |___________| <-- slit is two pixels wide |_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____| <-- pixels 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 <-- pixel number Here is an example of edges that are located at pixels 2.0 and 6.0. _______ ________ \ / <-- observed intensity \ / \ / \ / \ / ___________________ |_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____| <-- pixels 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 <-- pixel number
