NAME

       xsh_mbias - Create the master bias frame

SYNOPSIS

       esorex xsh_mbias [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       This recipe creates a master bias frame by computing the median of all input bias frames.

       Input Frames :
         - A set of n RAW frames (Format=RAW, n >=3, Tag = BIAS_arm)
         - [OPTIONAL] A map of non linear bad pixels (Format=QUP, Tag = BP_MAP_NL_arm)
         -  [OPTIONAL]  A  map  of  reference  bad pixels (Format = QUP,RAW, Tag = BP_MAP_RP_arm)
       Products :
         - A master bias frame (Format=PRE, PRO.CATG = MASTER_BIAS_arm)
