Handling reference files

Open laurenmarietta opened this issue 6 years ago • 6 comments

Currently, the simulator is looking for NIRCam, NIRISS, and FGS reference files in both of the following directories (and maybe others?):

  • /ifs/jwst/wit/nircam/nircam_simulator_data/
  • /ifs/jwst/wit/niriss/nircam_ramp_simulation_files/

Standardizing how reference files are organized, located, and named would serve to more easily keep the simulator references up-to-date, and would also make it easier to expand to instruments besides NIRCam, as is being discussed in issue #62.

I don't know much about reference files or CRDS, but another question: should we ultimately aim to be getting the most recent versions of reference files from crds, in /grp/crds/cache/references/jwst?
