8.1.5.3 MakeProfiles output

Besides the final merged image of all the profiles or individual profiles that can be built based on the input options, MakeProfiles will also create a log file in the current directory (where you run MockProfiles). The values for each column are explained in the first few commented (starting with # character). The log file includes the following information:

• The total magnitude of the profile in the image. This will be different from your input magnitude if the profile was not completely in the image.
• The number of pixels (in the oversampled image) which used Monte Carlo integration and not the central pixel value.
• The fraction of flux in the Monte Carlo integrated pixels.
• If an individual image was created or not.
