Automatic selection of calibration files
Time coverage by instrument
Proper calibration associations may be generated (by a dedicated software) for those input files (raw frames) whose instrument and time ranges are indicated in the table here below. For all other input files, an empty association is generated.

Caveat: the fact that an observation was taken by a supported instrument and within a valid time range does not guarantee that calibration files can successfully be associated to that observation.
