       flames_cal_prep_sff_ofpos - Determines order and fibre postions

SYNOPSIS

       esorex flames_cal_prep_sff_ofpos [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       Fibre & order position determination procedure: You should feed the recipe with: - even,
       odd, all fibre images (FIB_FF_EVEN_RED, FIB_FF_ODD_RED, FIB_FF_ALL_RED) - single fibre
       images, FIB_ORDEF_(REDL|REDU) - master bias frames, MASTER_BIAS_(REDL|REDU) - master slit
       flatfield frames, MASTER_SFLAT_(REDL|REDU) - order guess tables, FIB_ORD_GUE_(REDL|REDU).

       Products are: - Fibre order table (FIB_ORDEF_TABLE_chip) - All fibre info table
       (FIB_FF_ALL_INFO_TAB) - Odd fibre info table (FIB_FF_ODD_INFO_TAB) - Even fibre info table
       (FIB_FF_EVEN_INFO_TAB) - Slit flatfield common (SLIT_FF_COM_chip) - Slit flatfield norm
       (SLIT_FF_NOR_chip) - Slit flatfield data (SLIT_FF_DTC_chip) - Slit flatfield sigma
       (SLIT_FF_SGC_chip) - Slit flatfield bad pixel (SLIT_FF_BPC_chip) - Slit flatfield boundary
       (SLIT_FF_BNC_chip) - Fibre flatfield common (FIB_FF_COM_chip) - Fibre flatfield norm
       (FIB_FF_NOR_chip) - Fibre flatfield norm sigma (FIB_FF_NSG_chip) - Slit flatfield data
       (SLIT_FF_DTC_chip) - Slit flatfield sigma (SLIT_FF_SGC_chip) - Slit flatfield bad pixel
       (SLIT_FF_BPC_chip) chip=REDL and REDU

OPTIONS

       --debug <bool>
              Whether or not to save intermediate results to local directory (bool; default:
              False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
              uves.debug [default = False].

       --plotter <str>
              Any plots produced by the recipe are redirected to the command specified by this
              parameter. The plotting command must contain the substring ´gnuplot´ and must be
              able to parse gnuplot syntax on its standard input. Valid examples of such a
              command may include ´gnuplot -persist´ and ´cat > mygnuplot$$.gp´. A finer control
              of the plotting options can be obtained by writing an executable script, e.g.
              my_gnuplot.pl, that executes gnuplot after setting the desired gnuplot options
              (e.g. set terminal pslatex color). To turn off plotting, set this parameter to ´no´
              (str; default: ´no´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
              file is uves.plotter [default = no].

       --process_chip <str>
              For RED arm data process the redl, redu, or both chip(s) (str; default: ´both´).
              The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves.process_chip
              [default = both].

       --ext_method <str>
              Extraction method (str; default: ´opt´). The full name of this option for the
              EsoRex configuration file is flames_cal_prep_sff_ofpos.ext_method [default = opt].

       --bias_method <str>
              Bias subtraction method, M for master bias frame, N for no bias subtraction, V to
              subtract a constant bias level defined by the parameter bias_value (str; default:
              ´M´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
              flames_cal_prep_sff_ofpos.bias_method [default = M].

       --bias_value <long>
              Bias value (only if bias_method = V) (long; default: 200). The full name of this
              option for the EsoRex configuration file is flames_cal_prep_sff_ofpos.bias_value
              [default = 200].

       --filter_switch <str>
              Filter switch (str; default: ´none´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
              configuration file is flames_cal_prep_sff_ofpos.filter_switch [default = none].

       --sat_thr <long>
              Saturation threshold (long; default: 55000). The full name of this option for the
              EsoRex configuration file is flames_cal_prep_sff_ofpos.sat_thr [default = 55000].

       --fileprep <bool>
              Slitff* and Fibreff* file preparation. If fast extraction method is used it should
              be set to FALSE (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
              configuration file is flames_cal_prep_sff_ofpos.fileprep [default = True].

       --cubify <bool>
              Cubify switch (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
              configuration file is flames_cal_prep_sff_ofpos.cubify [default = True].

       --save_flat_size <long>
              To be sure to use the flat part of a slit flatsone may need to subtract this bit
              (long; default: 2). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file
              is flames_cal_prep_sff_ofpos.save_flat_size [default = 2].

       --clean_tmp_products <bool>
              Input data format (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the
              EsoRex configuration file is flames_cal_prep_sff_ofpos.clean_tmp_products [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.
