Detailed description of the data product
========================================
.. DetailedDescStart

The structure of the NIR Super-Flat is the same as the Science Image of the :ref:`NIRCalibratedFrame` with 16 x 3 layers, i.e.
median flat field correction, RMS, and Data Quality flags for each detector.

A super-flat frame for each filter is foreseen. In addition, a set of metadata is used to describe the validity range,
the time interval and the list of science frames used to generate the super-flat.
