Output parameters

The main sections of the header contain some fundamental parameters which are unique for all the spectrum. This is a problem for the output spectrum from `ACCUMULATE` or `AVERAGE` which may contain different part coming from a various number of spectra (e.g. in `COMPOSITE` mode). Actually, only the `INTERSECT` mode with `SET BAD OR` ensures that the same number of input spectra have been used to compute the non-bad channels of the output spectrum.

Nevertheless, typical values have to be given to these parameters. First of all, when adding a new spectrum with the previous sum , the header of the output sum is completely copied from header. Then specific values of the different sections of the header are adjusted.
