NAME
fors_bias - Compute the master bias frame
SYNOPSIS
esorex fors_bias [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
DESCRIPTION
This recipe is used to combine input raw BIAS frames into a master bias frame. The overscan regions, if
present, are removed from the result.
Input files:
DO category: Type: Explanation: Required:
BIAS Raw Bias frame Y
Output files:
DO category: Data type: Explanation:
MASTER_BIAS FITS image Master bias frame
OPTIONS
--stack_method <str>
Frames combination method (str; default: ´minmax´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
configuration file is fors.fors_bias.stack_method [default = minmax].
--minrejection <long>
Number of lowest values to be rejected (long; default: 1). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_bias.minrejection [default = 1].
--maxrejection <long>
Number of highest values to be rejected (long; default: 1). The full name of this option for the
EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_bias.maxrejection [default = 1].
--klow <float>
Low threshold in ksigma method (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
configuration file is fors.fors_bias.klow [default = 3.0].
--khigh <float>
High threshold in ksigma method (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
configuration file is fors.fors_bias.khigh [default = 3.0].
--kiter <long>
Max number of iterations in ksigma method (long; default: 999). The full name of this option for
the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_bias.kiter [default = 999].
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.
