PHOTON_TO_ADU

Type: _REAL
Some detectors produce many electrons (counts) for each incident photon, or alternatively, one count for many photons. In order to be able to calculate using photon-events it is necessary to take account of this factor. The PHOTON_TO_ADU parameter should be set to the number of incident photons corresponding to each count recorded by the detector.
