SIM TSC translation scale size (meters/step) from ODB characteristics
ODB_TSC_STEPS = 2.51432D-06
Exact : 2.51432e-3 mm/step => 9.8989e-5 inches/step
Roughly: ~400 steps/mm => ~10000 steps/inch
Effective fid light distance from ACA = 10065 mm
=> 20.49 arcsec/mm (ACA angular displacement / mm SIM translation)

Fid 4
ang_y[deg] = 0.59848
ang_z[deg] = 0.04931 = 177.52 arcsec
Fid 5
ang_y[deg] = -0.50331
ang_z[deg] = 0.04753 = 171.10 arcsec
At position of fid 4, quadrant boundary is at Zag = -27
At position of fid 5, quadrant boundary is at Zag = -22
Fid 4 crosses boundary at (-22 - 171) / 20.49 = -9.4 mm
Fid 5 crosses boundary at (-27 - 177) / 20.49 = -10.0 mm
A pad of 1mm => ~4 ACA pixels

*** ACIS review checks ***

From Joe DePasquale:
Our ACIS review script checks the Z-sim offset and reports an error if it
is between -8.1 and 11.0 mm while the FP is at ACIS-S:
if ($delta_zsim < -8.1 && $delta_zsim > -11.0 && $SI2 =~ "ACIS-S")
{
printf OUT "\n>>>ERROR: THERE IS A SIM TRANSLATION OF %5.2f mm
FOR THIS OBSERVATION.\n",$delta_zsim;
print OUT ">>> POSSIBLE FID LIGHT PROBLEM -- Z-SIM IN
BLOCKED-OUT REGION.\n\n";
