noiseDarkCurrent

PURPOSE ^

Obsolete

SYNOPSIS ^

function darkCurrentImage = noiseDarkCurrent(ISA)

DESCRIPTION ^

Obsolete

  darkCurrentImage = noiseDarkCurrent(ISA)

 PURPOSE: 
    Calculate the current image generated by the dark current.  The dark
    current image units are Amps.

Programming notes:
   For legacy reasons, many of the functions return current.  This is one
   example routine.  It could return voltage (or even electrons) to make
   the computations simpler to read.  All of the noiseXXX routines could
   be changed to conform to this.
   This routine should not add in the dark current noise.  The noise is
   computed as part of the noiseShot calculation, which takes the sum of
   the mean signal and the dark signal together.  The shot noise is
   computed from this total.  We don't compute signal noise and and dark
   signal noise separately.
