A.6.4 Mask Weight Map<br />

Mask weight maps are produced every time the spacecraft slews to a new pointing position. <strong>The</strong>se<br />

are used in combination with the raw mask tagged light curves to produce a processed mask tagged<br />

light curve (see “Mask Tagged Rates” above). <strong>The</strong> weight map is a detector plane map which<br />

contains the mask weights for a given catalog source, as derived by ray tracing. <strong>The</strong> on-board<br />

weight maps are offset and scaled such that the mean value is 7 and the range is 0-14.<br />

Layout. Mask weight map (attached to each raw mask tagged light curve). EXTNAME =<br />

A.7 TDRSS Messages<br />

In addition to the burst light curves (previous section), there are four TDRSS messages produced<br />

by the <strong>BAT</strong>. <strong>The</strong>se are the burst alert (code “msbal”), burst position (ACK) (code “msbce”),<br />

no-position (NACK) (code “msbno”) and scaled maps (code “msbsm”). All rate triggers generated
