NAME

       visir_util_repack - Conversion of raw CUBE2 or BURST images to on- and off-cubes

SYNOPSIS

       esorex visir_util_repack [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       The files listed in the Set Of Frames (sof-file) must be tagged: VISIR-CUBE2-raw-file.fits
       CUBE2 or VISIR-BURST-raw-file.fits BURST VISIR-BURST-bpm-file.fits STATIC_MASK  For  BURST
       data  it  will  remove  planes  where  the  chopper  switched from on <-> off based on the
       timestamps in the header.

       The product(s) will have a FITS card ´HIERARCH ESO PRO CATG´  with  a  value  of  one  of:
       IMG_REPACKED_A_ON  (NodPos:  A,  ChopPos: on) IMG_REPACKED_A_OFF (NodPos: A, ChopPos: off)
       IMG_REPACKED_B_ON (NodPos: B, ChopPos: on) IMG_REPACKED_B_OFF (NodPos:  B,  ChopPos:  off)
       For  CUBE2,  the  recipe  will  produce  a  static bad-pixel map, it will have a FITS card
       ´HIERARCH ESO PRO CATG´ with a value of: STATIC_MASK

OPTIONS

       --planestart <long>
              Plane number to start repacking from in each nod cycle,earlier planes are  skipped.
              (long;  default: 0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file
              is visir.visir_util_repack.planestart [default = 0].

       --planelimit <long>
              Limit number of processed inputplanes. It will repack until at least this number of
              input images have been processed or the full dataset has been repacked. Always full
              chop cycles need to be repacked so the  number  is  adjusted  upward  to  the  next
              multiple  of  images  per  chop cycle.  <= 0 for no limit. (long; default: -1). The
              full   name   of   this   option   for   the   EsoRex   configuration    file    is
              visir.visir_util_repack.planelimit [default = -1].

       --ncycles <long>
              Number  of  full  on-off  cycles  to  repack  per nod cycles. <= 0 for all.  (long;
              default: -1). The full name of this option for the  EsoRex  configuration  file  is
              visir.visir_util_repack.ncycles [default = -1].

       --trimlow <long>
              Burst  data  only.  Number  of additional planes to cut from before each plane with
              chopper movement. (long; default: 0). The full name of this option for  the  EsoRex
              configuration file is visir.visir_util_repack.trimlow [default = 0].

       --trimhigh <long>
              Burst  data  only.  Number  of  additional planes to cut from after each plane with
              chopper movement.  A value of -1 does not skip the plane of  the  movement.  (long;
              default:  0).  The  full  name  of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
              visir.visir_util_repack.trimhigh [default = 0].

       --bkgcorrect <str>
              Output background corrected planes by  subtracting  chop  (on/off)  and  nod  (A/B)
              planes   Options:  none: no correction  chop: on - off chopnod: (Aon - Aoff) - (Bon
              - Boff) (str; default: ´none´). The  full  name  of  this  option  for  the  EsoRex
              configuration file is visir.visir_util_repack.bkgcorrect [default = none].

       --normalize <bool>
              Normalize planes by DIT (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the
              EsoRex configuration file is visir.visir_util_repack.normalize [default = True].

       --compress <bool>
              Apply lossless compression on output files. Can  only  be  done  for  integer  type
              results.  (bool;  default:  False).  The  full  name  of this option for the EsoRex
              configuration file is visir.visir_util_repack.compress [default = False].

       --lincorrect <bool>
              Apply linearity correction. Should only be enabled on high flux  observations,  may
              degrade results otherwise. (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for
              the EsoRex configuration  file  is  visir.visir_util_repack.lincorrect  [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.
