NAME

       hawki_dark_combine - HAWKI dark combination recipe

SYNOPSIS

       esorex hawki_dark_combine [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       hawki_dark_combine -- HAWKI dark combine recipe.

       Combine  a list of dark frames into a mean dark frame. Optionally compare the output frame
       to a reference dark frame

       The program accepts the following files in the SOF:

           Tag                   Description

           DARK                  A list of raw dark images
           REFERENCE_DARK        Optional reference dark frame
           MASTER_BPM            Optional master bad pixel map or
           MASTER_CONF           Optional master confidence map If no  reference  dark  frame  is
       made  available,  then  no  comparison  will  be  done. This means there will be no output
       difference image or stats table. If neither a bad pixel mask or a master confidence map is
       specified all stats are done assuming all pixels are good.

OPTIONS

       --combtype <str>
              Combination  algorithm  (str;  default: ´median´). The full name of this option for
              the EsoRex  configuration  file  is  hawki.hawki_dark_combine.combtype  [default  =
              median].

       --scaletype <str>
              Scaling  algorithm (str; default: ´additive´). The full name of this option for the
              EsoRex  configuration  file  is   hawki.hawki_dark_combine.scaletype   [default   =
              additive].

       --xrej <bool>
              True  if  using  extra rejection cycle (bool; default: True). The full name of this
              option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_dark_combine.xrej  [default
              = True].

       --thresh <float>
              Rejection  threshold in sigma above background (float; default: 5.0). The full name
              of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_dark_combine.thresh
              [default = 5.0].

       --ncells <int>
              Number  of  cells  for  data channel stats (int; default: 8). The full name of this
              option  for  the  EsoRex  configuration  file  is   hawki.hawki_dark_combine.ncells
              [default = 8].

       --prettynames <bool>
              Use  pretty output file names? (bool; default: False). The full name of this option
              for the EsoRex configuration file is hawki.hawki_dark_combine.prettynames  [default
              = False].

       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.
