Saturation of LW for sources brighter than (0.6 Jy)

Saturation of the LW detector of ISOCAM can occur during an observation or chain of observations regardless of the observing parameters used in the actual observations. This is the case for instance when the target is point source above 0.6 Jy in the LW2 band (.i.e. approximately 0.5Jy in the IRAS 12m filter for a star).

• Saturation when arriving on-target
• Optimisation of transient behaviours
