  1. Groups and Integrations calculator doesn't provide an option to select 1 amp readout (4 amp readout is assumed).
  2. APT has a 30-group limit on NIRCam that isn't considered in the G&I calculator.
    This combination of issues makes it impossible to plan observations of fainter (K>9) stars using the tool.

One solution is to let the user decide how many amps to use (with a warning to switch if the ideal number of groups is > 30). The other solution is to use some logic to pick the appropriate number of readout amps.

  1. Also need to implement more than just the RAPID readout pattern. BRIGHT2 and SHALLOW4 look like good options for time-series observations.

Might be best to let the user decide between all of these options.
