Making images in various energy bands

By default the IMA step use the general energy binning parameters nChanBins, chanLow and chanHigh to generate images (i.e., the same energy ranges used in the spectral extraction step, SPE). Images however can also be extracted for the 3 energy bands used for the automatic source detection (3-7 keV, 7-11 keV and 11-20 keV), through the combination of parameteres IMA_detImagesOut =Yes and IMA_userImagesOut = No. To use these parameters at the IMA step from the GUI, click on the ``hidden'' button and choose the ``IMA'' tab.

If you run the IMA step with the default parameter settings, jmx i_sky_ima.fits will contain sky images for all bins specified by ``General Binning Parameters''. The mosaic image produced at the IMA2 level will also use these energy bins.
