NAME

       uves_cal_mflat_combine - Combines the master flat field and the master dflat frames

SYNOPSIS

       esorex uves_cal_mflat_combine [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This recipe combined a MASTER_FLAT_xxxx with a MASTER_DFLAT_xxxx Input are: a master flat
       (MASTER_FLAT_xxxx) a master dflat (MASTER_DFLAT_xxxx) an order table (ORDER_TABLE_xxxx)
       provided for each chip (xxxx = BLUE, REDL, REDU).  Output is a MASTER_FLAT_xxxx

OPTIONS

       --debug <bool>
              Whether or not to save intermediate results to local directory (bool; default:
              False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
              uves.debug [default = False].

       --plotter <str>
              Any plots produced by the recipe are redirected to the command specified by this
              parameter. The plotting command must contain the substring ´gnuplot´ and must be
              able to parse gnuplot syntax on its standard input. Valid examples of such a
              command may include ´gnuplot -persist´ and ´cat > mygnuplot$$.gp´. A finer control
              of the plotting options can be obtained by writing an executable script, e.g.
              my_gnuplot.pl, that executes gnuplot after setting the desired gnuplot options
              (e.g. set terminal pslatex color). To turn off plotting, set this parameter to ´no´
              (str; default: ´no´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
              file is uves.plotter [default = no].

       --process_chip <str>
              For RED arm data process the redl, redu, or both chip(s) (str; default: ´both´).
              The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves.process_chip
              [default = both].

       --order_threshold <long>
              Order where master flats are joined  (long; default: 7). The full name of this
              option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves.order_threshold [default = 7].

       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.
