ETC Request ID: STIS.ta.1291328

Requested Signal/Noise Ratio = 40.000

gives: Time = 0.0352 seconds

gives: Time to Saturation (for a single exposure) = 6.35 seconds

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: Result of the calculation 0.0352375 is less than the minimum exposure time for this detector (0.1)
