Exposure time (seconds) = 2,018.0000 at wavelength 2026.00 Å

gives: SNR = 114.1254 (per resolution element)

Exposure time calculation HAD WARNINGS.

WARNING MESSAGE: MAMA Bright limits: total count rate per image 107312 exceeds limit for irregularly-variable sources 40 percent of the bright limit 200000 counts per second

WARNING MESSAGE: Buffer time 18.6372 is less than minimum 99 seconds.
