Association creation is heavily dependent upon other parameters such as LAMP, OPMODE, and GRATING.

Column definitions:

EXP_TYPE

The exposure type.

Member Exposure Type

How the association generator will classify the exposure.

Specials

The association rule modifications to handle the exposure.

Many exposures that are not directly science, such as backgrounds, are primarily used as auxiliary members for other science products. However, they are also often calibrated as if they were science products themselves. In these situations, a special association rule is created to produce the necessary associations.
