In this ISR the optional parameters in the NICMOS Proposal Instructions which implement the automatic execution of patterns of observations are described. These patterns are essentially macro level instructions which result in the execution of one member of a predefined set of exposures interleaved with HST small angle maneuvers. These greatly simplify the acquisition of dithered or chopped observations. The HST ground system is in the process of being augmented to treat the set of exposures in a pattern as an “association”. These associations are processed together in the pipeline calibration permitting the automated measurement of the sky background illumination and the anti-coincidence reject of cosmic rays and defective pixels. The “products” from the calibration of an association are also stored in the Hubble Data Archive so that the association may be reference either as an entity or via it component exposures.
