Multi-Read Out Data Simulator
  We present a data simulation package designed to create a series of simulated data samples for a detector with non-destructive sampling capability. The original intent of this software was to provide a method for generating simulated images for the Next Generation Space Telescope, but it is general enough to apply to almost any non-destructive detector or instrument. MultiDataSim can be used to generate "practice" sampling strategies for an instrument or field-of-view, and thus can be used to identify optimal observation strategies.
