Tabular Psfs

The TABULAR option reads in a dataset created by the CREPSF application (see Section 6.8). The psf system uses the MASK parameter to read in the name of the dataset,

   PSF - Choose PSF to use for source model /'WFC'/ > TABULAR
   MASK - Name of a 2D dataset containing psf > POINT_SF
The AUX parameter is not used. Note that the psf system does not check that the binning of the tabular psf is compatible with an image being searched or background subtracted. The solution to this shortcoming is not simple, as there are occasions when the binning does not matter, and the TABULAR psf routine has insufficient information to decide this.
