NAME

       muse_qi_mask - Create image masks for use with the quick image reconstruction.

SYNOPSIS

       esorex muse_qi_mask [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

       Trace and wavelength calibration tables (24 of them each, one per IFU) are used to build wavelength maps.
       If  the  input  data is binned, the wavelength maps are binned in the same way (averaging of pixels). The
       wavelength maps are then thresholded to create masks of the desired wavelength range. Finally,  the  mask
       is  &untrimmed&,  i.e.  empty  regions  for  the  pre- and overscans are added (in a simple way, assuming
       quadrants of equal size, and padding of 32 pixels on all quadrant edges). Note: this recipe is  not  part
       of  the main MUSE pipeline but to be used in the integration phase to create image masks until the system
       is fully qualified. It therefore does only minimal error checking.

OPTIONS

       --nifu <long>
              IFU to handle. If set to 0, all IFUs are processed serially, which is the recommendation for  this
              recipe,  since  only  then  all extensions end up in the same output file. (long; default: 0). The
              full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is  muse.muse_qi_mask.nifu  [default  =
              0].

       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.
