NAME

       kmo_noise_map - Generate a noise map from a raw frame

SYNOPSIS

       esorex kmo_noise_map [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       The noise in each pixel of the input data is estimated using gain and readnoise.

       The  readnoise  is  expected to be in the primary header (ESO DET CHIP RON), the gain (ESO
       DET CHIP GAIN) has to be in each of the subsequent headers of  each  detector  frame.  The
       output is the initial noise map of the data frame.

         Input files:

          DO                    KMOS
          category              Type   Explanation                    Required #Frames
          --------              -----  -----------                    -------- -------
          <none or any>         RAW    raw data frame                     Y       1

         Output files:

          DO                    KMOS
          category              Type   Explanation
          --------              -----  -----------

                                       (6 Extensions, 3 data and 3 noise)
