EXPCOUNT

Running count of exposures in visit

The EXPCOUNT keyword will be used to count the number of exposures in a visit. The value for the EXPOSURE keyword is intially extracted from the image header in the science telemetry and is reset for each new activity within a visit. Science Data Processing code (SDP) determines a monotonically increasing exposure count within a visit, and capture that number in the EXPCOUNT keyword value. This exposure count will reflect the order in which the exposures were executed.
