NAME

       vmifucalib - Generate IFU calibrations from a set of flat and arc lamp exposures.

SYNOPSIS

       esorex vmifucalib [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This  recipe  produces  the  extraction mask, the wavelength calibration, and the relative
       transmission correction, from a set of flat field and one arc lamp exposures (IFU mode).

       Input files:

         DO category:                 Type:       Explanation:       Required:
         IFU_SCREEN_FLAT              Raw         Flat field            Y
         IFU_ARC_SPECTRUM             Raw         Arc spectrum          .

         LINE_CATALOG                 Calib       Arc line catalog      .

         MASTER_BIAS                  Calib       Master bias           Y
         IFU_IDENT                    Calib       Fiber identification  .

         CCD_TABLE                    Calib       Bad pixel table       .

       Output files:

         DO category:                 Data type:  Explanation:
         IFU_MASTER_SCREEN_FLAT       FITS image  Stack of all raw flat fields
         IFU_ARC_SPECTRUM_EXTRACTED   FITS image  Extracted arc spectra
         IFU_FLAT_SPECTRUM_EXTRACTED  FITS image  Extracted flat field spectra
         IFU_TRACE                    FITS table  Extraction mask
         IFU_IDS                      FITS table  Wavelength calibration
         IFU_TRANSMISSION             FITS table  Transmission correction

       An arc spectrum exposure may not be specified in input, but in  that  case  no  wavelength
       calibration  nor  fiber  relative  transmission  correction  will be computed, and further
       reduction of associated scientific data will not be possible; the only  products  in  this
       case will be the stack of all the input raw flat field exposures, and the extraction mask.
       If the arc spectrum exposure is specified in input, then  also  a  line  catalog  must  be
       given.  The  fiber identification table, if given, ensures that all spectra will be safely
       identified and assigned to the correct spatial position, but in  most  cases  it  will  be
       possible  to  reduce  the  data even without specifying this table in the input SOF. A CCD
       table must be specified only if a bad pixel cleaning is requested.

       For more details, please refer to the VIMOS Pipeline User´s Guide.
