MEF file	Multi-Extension FITS file.
TwoDFrame	A processed two-dimensional CCD frame from which individual spectra have been extracted. Typically multiple spectra will be extracted from each TwoDFrame.
SpecFrame	The set of one-dimensional spectra extracted from a single TwoDFrame. Thus, there is usually a 1:1 relation between SpecFrames and TwoDFrames. The spectra included in the SpecFrames are fully calibrated and have associated error information.
