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
