There are 3 operational modes of the WFC which have a direct influence on the
scientific data received from the focal plane detector, and are thus of interest
to observers. Note that only the ZOOM mode detailed below can
be selected by the observer - see Chapter 9 .
The data rate will normally be optimised automatically by on-board
software. Electronic windowing, as required, will be selected by operational
staff.
