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.
