Spectroscopy MultiAccum Tables

This article describes each of the Roman Wide Field Instrument (WFI) spectroscopy mode MultiAccum (MA) Tables.

The multi-accumulation tables (also called MultiAccum or MA Tables) define the sequence of detector reads that are taken during a WFI exposure. Additional details about these tables can be found in WFI MultiAccum Tables article. For guidance on how the choice of MultiAccum Table influences sensitivity, saturation, and exposure-time trade-offs in Roman WFI observations, see Understanding Roman WFI Sensitivity, Saturation, and Exposure Time.

The MA tables below are specific to the WFI spectroscopic mode. For each table, the following is provided:

  • a general summary table,
  • a figure of the table's ramp, and 
  • a table listing the properties of each resultant.

The MA tables for the imaging mode can be found in the Imaging MultiAccum Tables article. MA tables for engineering modes (which are restricted for nearly all users) can be found in the Engineering MultiAccum Tables article.


The MA tables described below correspond to "Rev H".
