Create NDFs holding the map made form a short chunk of data SHORTMAP
" shortmap" adjacent time slices. Alternatively, set to -1 to produce a map each
time the TCS_INDEX value within the JCMTSTATE extension is incremented (i.e., each time a full
pass through the scan pattern has been completed). Any other negative value is interpreted as a
duration in seconds, and is converted to time slices using the (possibly down-sampled) sample
frequency of the data being mapped. [0]
