Create_data Proposal File Format
The proposal file has an XML-like format that lays out the relationship between a set of exposures. The layout looks like this:
<Proposal title="Test">
<Observation>
<Visit>
<VisitGroup>
<ParallelSequenceID>
<Activity>
<Exposure>
<Detector>
<base></base>
<subarray></subarray>
<exp_type></exp_type>
</Detector>
</Exposure>
</Activity>
</ParallelSequenceID>
</VisitGroup>
</Visit>
</Observation>
</Proposal>
The file to be converted is put between the <base></base> tags, and if a subarray is needed to be extracted from a full-frame exposure, the name of the subarray can be put between the <subarray></subarray> tags. Finally, the type of exposure can be placed between the <exp_type> </exp_type> tags. The values of EXP_TYPE are:

Sections of this file can be replicated to represent, for example, all of the NIRCAM exposures from each of the 10 detectors at a single pointing by just replicating the <detector></detector> blocks.
