NAME
visir_old_spc_wcal - Old DRS detector: Spectroscopic wavelength calibration recipe
SYNOPSIS
esorex visir_old_spc_wcal [OPTIONS] FILE.sof
DESCRIPTION
This recipe estimates the dispersion relation using the atmospheric spectrum in a
long-slit spectroscopy half-cycle frame.
The files listed in the Set Of Frames (sof-file) must be tagged:
VISIR-Long-Slit-Spectroscopy-file.fits SPEC_CAL_LMR_WCAL
VISIR-Quantum-Efficiency-Calibration-file.fits SPEC_CAL_QEFF
VISIR-Atmospheric-Emission-Lines-Calibration-file.fits SPEC_CAL_LINES
Additionally, a bad pixel map with a PRO.CATG of SPEC_BPM may be added to the Set Of
Frames with tag: BPM.
OPTIONS
--auto_bpm <bool>
Automatic detection and correction of bad pixels (bool; default: True). The full
name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
visir.visir_old_spc_wcal.auto_bpm [default = True].
--plot <long>
The recipe can produce a number of predefined plots. Zero means that none of the
plots are produced, while increasing values (e.g. 1 or 2) increases the number of
plots produced. If the plotting fails a warning is produced, and the recipe
continues. The default behaviour of the plotting is to use gnuplot (with option
-persist). The recipe currently produces 1D-plots using gnuplot commands. The
recipe user can control the actual plotting-command used by the recipe to create
the plot by setting the environment variable CPL_PLOTTER. Currently, if CPL_PLOTTER
is set it must contain the string ´gnuplot´. Setting it to ´cat >
my_gnuplot_$$.txt´ causes a number of ASCII-files to be created, which each produce
a plot when given as standard input to gnuplot (e.g. later or on a different
computer). 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) and then setting
CPL_PLOTTER to my_gnuplot.pl. The predefined plots include plotting of images.
Images can be plotted not only with gnuplot, but also using the pnm format. This is
controlled with the environment variable CPL_IMAGER. If CPL_IMAGER is set to a
string that does not contain the word gnuplot, the recipe will generate the plot in
pnm format. E.g. setting CPL_IMAGER to ´display - &´ will produce a gray-scale
image using the image viewer display. (long; default: 0). The full name of this
option for the EsoRex configuration file is visir.visir_old_spc_wcal.plot [default
= 0].
--slit_skew <float>
Distortion correction: Skew of slit (degrees) (clockwise) (float; default: 0.52).
The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
visir.visir_old_spc_wcal.phi [default = 0.52].
--spectrum_skew <float>
Distortion correction: LMR Skew of spectrum (degrees) (counter- clockwise). Not
used in High Resolution (float; default: 1.73). The full name of this option for
the EsoRex configuration file is visir.visir_old_spc_wcal.ksi [default = 1.73].
--vert_arc <float>
Distortion correction: LR Detector vertical curvature (pixel). Reduced by a factor
4 in MR. Not used in HR A-side. Increased by a factor 115/52 in HR B-side (float;
default: -0.8). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
visir.visir_old_spc_wcal.eps [default = -0.8].
--hori_arc <float>
Distortion correction: LMR Detector horizontal curvature (pixel). Increased by a
factor 1.5 in HR A-side. Reduced by a factor 2 in HR B-side (float; default: 0.0).
The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
visir.visir_old_spc_wcal.delta [default = 0.0].
--rl <long>
Reject leftmost columns in spectrum extraction, zero means all columns on the left
are used. In cross-dispersion mode a (small) negative number may be used (pixel)
(long; default: 0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file
is visir.visir_old_spc_wcal.reject_left [default = 0].
--rr <long>
Reject rightmost columns in spectrum extraction, zero means all columns on the
right are used. In cross-dispersion mode a (small) negative number may be used
(pixel) (long; default: 0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
configuration file is visir.visir_old_spc_wcal.reject_right [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.
