NAME

       kmo_fits_check - Check contents of a KMOS fits-file

SYNOPSIS

       esorex kmo_fits_check [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       Recipe  to print information on FITS files, contained data/noise values or header keywords
       of all extensions of a fits file, preferably a KMOS fits-file (RAW,  F1I,  F2I,  F3I,  F2D
       etc.). This recipe is intended for debugging purposes only.

       By default a short summary is printed.

       The following data types of keywords are recognized: bool, char, double, float, int, long,
       string As input one fits-file is accepted, no output frame is generated.

   BASIC PARAMETERS
       --h With this parameter just the header keywords are printed:
         –1  prints the primary header and the headers of all the extensions
          0  prints just the primary header
          1  prints the header of the first extension etc.

       --d With this parameter just the data (or depending on the extension: noise) is printed:
         –1 prints the primary header and the headers of all the extensions
          0 prints data of the primary header which is empty for KMOS FITS frames
          1 prints the data/noise of the first extension etc.

       This parameter should only be used with very small datasets, otherwise the screen will  be
       flooded with numbers.

         Input files:

          DO                    KMOS
          category              Type   Explanation                    Required #Frames
          --------              -----  -----------                    -------- -------
          <none or any>         <any>  Any FITS file                      Y       1

         Output files:

          DO                    KMOS
          category              Type   Explanation
          --------              -----  -----------
          <none>                <none> No output frames generated, only text output

OPTIONS

       --data <long>
              The  extension  whose  data  to print. (0 is the empty primary extension, -1 prints
              just all data extensions, by default all headers and data  of  all  extensions  are
              printed.  (long;  default:  -2).  The  full  name  of  this  option  for the EsoRex
              configuration file is kmos.fits_check.data [default = -2].

       --header <long>
              The extension whose header to print(0 is the empty  primary  extension,  -1  prints
              just  all  headers,  by default all headers and data of all extensions are printed.
              (long; default: -2). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file
              is kmos.fits_check.header [default = -2].

       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.
