NAME

       muse_scipost_combine_pixtables - Combine MUSE pixel tables, either from different IFUs, or
       from different exposures, or both.

SYNOPSIS

       esorex muse_scipost_combine_pixtables [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       Sort pixel tables by exposure and combine them with applied weights  into  one  big  pixel
       table. This is a task separated from muse_scipost.

OPTIONS

       --lambdamin <float>
              Cut  off  the  data below this wavelength after loading the pixel table(s). (float;
              default: 4000.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
              muse.muse_scipost_combine_pixtables.lambdamin [default = 4000.0].

       --lambdamax <float>
              Cut  off  the  data above this wavelength after loading the pixel table(s). (float;
              default: 10000.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex  configuration  file
              is muse.muse_scipost_combine_pixtables.lambdamax [default = 10000.0].

       --weight <str>
              Type  of weighting scheme to use when combining multiple exposures.  "exptime" just
              uses the exposure time to weight the exposures, "fwhm" uses the DIMM information in
              the  header  as well, "none" preserves an existing weight column in the input pixel
              tables without changes.  (str; default: ´exptime´). The full name  of  this  option
              for  the  EsoRex  configuration  file is muse.muse_scipost_combine_pixtables.weight
              [default = exptime].

       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.
