NAME

       kmo_fits_strip - Strip noise, rotator and/or empty extensions from a processed KMOS fits frame

SYNOPSIS

       esorex kmo_fits_strip [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       With this recipe KMOS fits frames can be stripped in following way:

       --noise All noise extensions will be removed. Only the data extensions remain.

       --angle Applies only to calibration products from kmo_flat and kmo_wave_cal.

       All extensions matching provided angle are kept, the others are removed.

       Supply a single integer value.

       --empty All empty extensions will be removed.

       --extension  Supply  a  comma-separated string with integer values indicating the extensions to keep. The
       other extensions are removed (any data or noise information is disregarded, the  values  are  interpreted
       absolutely)

       The parameters --noise, --angle and --empty can be combined.

       When --extension is specified, all other parameters are ignored.

       When no parameter is provided, no output will be generated.

OPTIONS

       --empty <bool>
              TRUE: if empty extensions shall be removed, FALSE: otherwise (bool; default: False). The full name
              of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmo_fits_strip.empty [default = False].

       --noise <bool>
              TRUE: if noise extensions shall be removed, FALSE: otherwise (bool; default: False). The full name
              of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmo_fits_strip.noise [default = False].

       --angle <long>
              All  extensions  not  matching  provided angle are stripped. (long; default: -1). The full name of
              this option for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.kmo_fits_strip.angle [default = -1].

       --extension <str>
              Comma-separated string with integers. All extensions matching these  values  are  stripped.  (str;
              default:   None).   The   full   name  of  this  option  for  the  EsoRex  configuration  file  is
              kmos.kmo_fits_strip.extension [default = None].

       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.
