COMMENT   The DATAMODE keyword contains information on instrument and OBC
COMMENT   settings. The first part is the OBC sub-mode, the second indicates
COMMENT   whether a diamond background filter was applied (ND if no diamond
COMMENT   filter). The rest of the values are taken from the LE telecommand
COMMENT   readouts in the observation directory. The third is the high voltage
COMMENT   setting 2 and 1 for the CMA or the AGC gain for the PSD. The fourth is
COMMENT    the zoom setting and the fifth is the LE IFT status.
COMMENT   Several effects contributed to the total deadtime correction for the
COMMENT   CMA instrument. The most important was due to a telemetry limitation
COMMENT   imposed by the requirements of the other onboard instruments and by
COMMENT   the background variability of the CMA itself. As a consequence, not
COMMENT   all the events collected by the telescopes in conjunction with the
COMMENT   CMA detectors were transmitted on ground. This correction varies
COMMENT   enourmously and depends on the observation length. The ONTIME keyword,
COMMENT   contained in this table, stores the exposure corrected for the
COMMENT   telemetry events loss as well as for the deadtime due to the
COMMENT   electronics. The ONTIME is valid only for the time interval stored in
COMMENT   the TELAPSE keyword. The DEADC keyword includes only the deadtime
COMMENT   correction due to the electronics.
