Quality values

When the application asks you for a quality value it expects to receive either,

  1. A name of a quality bit pattern,
            Name      Bit pattern        Name      Bit pattern
            GOOD      00000000           PATCHED   01000000
            BAD       00000010           ARITH     00000100
            MISSING   00000001           IGNORE    10000000
       
  2. A binary number, up to 8 bits long. This is read in as a character string, and converted to a numeric value later.

    The binary number does not HAVE to be 8 bits long i.e.

                          11 = 00000011
