Will need new path for FILTERCONFIG

These do not make a lot of sense, it appears to only be parsing the first entry of each PTC flat config, instead of the full list. I'm guessing this has something to do with the re-ordered flat flux lists, but wonder if it is only for the parser time estimating parser, or would extend to an actual acquisition

[seanmacb]

Interestingly, other reordered PTC flat field lists are being parsed correctly

[jchiang87]

All of the flat acquisition sequences should be randomized.

[seanmacb]

One comment from @aaronroodman about the ordering of flat acquisitions:

For step 11 let me suggest the following: there are 2 known effects: temperature dependence in the REBs and persistence following saturated flats. We could avoid both by 1) monotonically increasing flats - to avoid persistence which will only be present when we no longer care and 2) taking 30 minutes or so of 15 second Darks at the beginning to get the system to thermalize.

I can add the dark overhead, but does this sound reasonable @jchiang87 ?

[jchiang87]

sure, sounds fine.

[seanmacb]

Changes made

[jchiang87]

It looks like the dark acquisitions are being taken after the flat acquisitions for a number of these .cfg files.

[jchiang87]

One more file to fix, otherwise looks fine.
