Summary

  • Update terminology from "individual exposure time" to "total exposure time per pointing" for consistency across UI and documentation
  • Add explanatory text about cosmic-ray removal and sub-exposure splitting
  • Add reference link to PFS instrument website

Changes Made

UI Updates (ObsTypeWidgets.py)

  • Widget label: Changed to "Total exposure time (s) per pointing"
  • Added descriptive text: "The total integration time per pointing will be split into a pair of sub-exposures for cosmic-ray removal"
  • Added link to PFS instrument website for more details
  • Tooltip: Updated to use "total exposure time per pointing"

Documentation Updates (PPP.md)

  • Line 26: Queue mode description
  • Line 27: Classical mode description
  • Line 67: Error message explanation (2 instances)
  • All instances changed from "individual exposure time" to "total exposure time per pointing"

Rationale

The new terminology better reflects the actual behavior: the specified time is the total integration time at each pointing, which gets split into sub-exposures internally for cosmic-ray removal. This makes the UI clearer and reduces potential user confusion.

Testing

  • Documentation terminology is consistent across all files
  • Functionality remains unchanged (no behavior modifications)
  • Original formatting style preserved (no bold added where it wasn't before)

… time per pointing"

This commit updates the UI label, tooltip, and documentation to use consistent
terminology for the exposure time parameter:

- Widget label: "Total exposure time (s) per pointing" (with explanatory text)
- Tooltip: "total exposure time per pointing"
- Documentation: "total exposure time per pointing" (without bold formatting)

The functionality remains unchanged. This change improves clarity by emphasizing
that the total integration time is split into sub-exposures for cosmic-ray removal.
