NAME

       fors_remove_bias - Subtract bias from input frame

SYNOPSIS

       esorex fors_remove_bias [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This  recipe  is  used  to  subtract  the  overscan and master bias(produced by the recipe
       fors_bias) from one raw data  frame.  The  overscan  regions,  if  present,  are  used  to
       compensate  for  variations  of  the  overall bias level between master bias and input raw
       frame. The overscan regions are then trimmed from the result.

       The recipe should allow any fors frame.

       Input files:

         DO category:               Type:       Explanation:         Required:
         ANY_CAT
                         Raw         Raw data frame          Y
         MASTER_BIAS                Calib       Master bias frame       Y
