        (wildcard permitted, activates all sections), for read (default)

        please consult section 5 of the MIRA manual. The section MON consists of
        SIC structures MON%HEADER and MON%DATA. Each frontend-backend
        combination has its own GAINS and REDUCE section (e.g. GAINS1, REDUCE3,

        structures for each frontend-backend combination, e.g. SCAN1%HEADER,
