This paper describes the characteristics of the "dark current" for the Near-Infrared and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) flight detectors, namely the instrumental signal present in exposures made in the absence of any external illumination. We show how this comprises three distinct components - the shading, amplifier glow, and the true dark current. We then describe a recipe for generating "synthetic" dark current calibration reference files, which could in principle be used to generate darks for any arbitrary sequence of MULTIACCUM reads.
