JWST MULTIACCUM Detector Integrations • Instruments teams have pre-defined detector readout patterns (e.g., combinations of nframes, group gaps are set - users will never define new readout patterns) • Instruments have set detector readout patterns: • TFI: TFIRAPID / TFI • NIRSpec: NRSRAPID / NRS / NRSSlow • MIRI: FASTMode-Short/Long, SLOWMode • NIRCam - 9 readout patterns (Rapid/Fast = no dropped frames, tframe=tgroup = MAX data volume) • User Delivered exposure times will be quantized in units of the detector read group time
