CALDB 3.2.4 is a patch upgrade to CalDB 3.2.3. It includes six new ACIS
T_GAIN files used in acis_process_events. The new files address two
issues: (1) to account for the gain versus time discontinuity in chips
I0 and I2 which occurred around 01 August 2005, and (2) to add two more
T_GAIN epochs to the suite, namely 25 (Nov 2005 - Jan 2006) and 26 (Feb
2006 - Apr 2006).
See the CALDB 3.2.4 release notes for a detailed explanation of the
change:
