In interferometry, the correlator can also restrict the field of view depending on the trade-off set to build the signal.
Nominal wavelength SHOULD be taken as the mid value of the spectral range except if data providers have good reasons to propose another value which should be documented in the FIELD DESCRIPTION tag in that case.
