NAME

       visir_util_spc_txt2fits - Generate spectrum calibration FITS tables

SYNOPSIS

       esorex visir_util_spc_txt2fits [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This recipe shall be used to generate spectrum calibration tables.

       The  sof file shall consist of 1 line with the name of an ASCII-file currently tagged with
       either SPC_LINES_ASCII or SPC_QEFF_ASCII.

       The file must comprise two columns: 1st: Must be wavelengths in increasing order in  units
       of meter 2nd: For SPC_LINES_ASCII-files must be the atmospheric emission, while
            for SPC_QEFF_ASCII-files must be the quantum efficiency of the detector.

       A SPC_LINES_ASCII-file will generate a SPEC_CAL_LINES-file, and a SPC_QEFF_ASCII-file will
       generate a SPEC_CAL_QEFF-file.

       The current SPEC_CAL_LINES- and SPEC_CAL_QEFF-files are generated using the ASCII-files in
       the catalogs/ directory of the VISIR source-code distribution.

OPTIONS

       --qeff <float>
              Ignored  (float;  default:  1.0).  The  full  name  of  this  option for the EsoRex
              configuration file is visir.visir_util_spc_txt2fits.qeff [default = 1.0].

       Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing  these  options,  along
       with  suitable default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help'
       command.
