Exposure time (seconds) = 1,850.0000 at wavelength 2026.00 Å

gives: SNR = 103.6410 (per resolution element)

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: MAMA Bright limits: total count rate per image 99066 exceeds limit for irregularly-variable sources 40 percent of the bright limit 200000 counts per second

WARNING MESSAGE: Buffer time 20.1886 is less than minimum 99 seconds.
