     229packages either did not meet the accuracy requirements or

    231231PS1.  In the case of the SDSS Photo tool, the software was judged to
    232232be too tightly integrated to the architecture of SDSS to be easily
    233 re-integrated into the Pan-STARRS pipelin.  A new photometry analysis
     233re-integrated into the Pan-STARRS pipeline.  A new photometry analysis
    234234package was developed using lessons learned from the existing
    235235photometry systems.  In the process, the object analysis software was

    238238the IPP's mid-level astronomy data analysis toolkit called
    239 \code{psModules}.  The result software, 'PSPhot', can be used either

    240240as a stand-alone C program, or as a set of library functions which may

    243245The main version of PSPhot is a stand-alone program which is run on a

    245247from a camera in a single exposure.  The images are expected to have
    246248already been detrended so that pixel values are linearly related to
    247 the flux.  The gain may be specific by the configuration system, or a
