Usage

Overview

This recipe creates a master dark frame by taking the median of all input frames which should have identical exposure times. Symbolically,
masterdark = median( dark_i ) - masterbias

The input dark frames must have same tag and size and must be either (P)DARK_BLUE or (P)DARK_RED. Also, a master bias (MASTER_BIAS_xxxx) must be provided for each chip (xxxx = BLUE, REDL, REDU).

On blue input the recipe computes one master dark frame; on red input the recipe produces a master dark frame for each chip (MASTER_(P)DARK_xxxx).

Options

--debug <bool>

Whether or not to save intermediate results to local directory (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves.debug [default = False].

--khigh <float>

Kappa used to clip high level values, when method is set to ´mean´ (float; default: 5.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.khigh [default = 5.0].

--khigh <float>

Kappa used to clip high level values, when method is set to ´mean´ (float; default: 5.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.khigh [default = 5.0].

--klow <float>

Kappa used to clip low level values, when method is set to ´mean´ (float; default: 5.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.klow [default = 5.0].

--klow <float>

Kappa used to clip low level values, when method is set to ´mean´ (float; default: 5.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.klow [default = 5.0].

--niter <int>

Number of kappa sigma iterations, when method is set to ´mean´ (int; default: 5). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.niter [default = 5].

--niter <int>

Number of kappa sigma iterations, when method is set to ´mean´ (int; default: 5). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.niter [default = 5].

--plotter <str>

Any plots produced by the recipe are redirected to the command specified by this parameter. The plotting command must contain the substring ´gnuplot´ and must be able to parse gnuplot syntax on its standard input. Valid examples of such a command may include ´gnuplot -persist´ and ´cat > mygnuplot$$.gp´. 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). To turn off plotting, set this parameter to ´no´ (str; default: ´no´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves.plotter [default = no].

--process_chip <str>

For RED arm data process the redl, redu, or both chip(s) (str; default: ´both´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves.process_chip [default = both].

--qc_dark.reg.border_x <int>

X distance between the left hand side of the detector and the left hand side of the region [pix] (int; default: 100). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.qc_dark.reg.border_x [default = 100].

--qc_dark.reg.border_y <int>

X distance between the left hand side of the detector and the left hand side of the region [pix] (int; default: 100). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.qc_dark.reg.border_y [default = 100].

--qc_dark.reg.box_sx <int>

Region X size [pix] (int; default: 100). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.qc_dark.reg.box_sx [default = 100].

--qc_dark.reg.box_sy <int>

Region Y size [pix] (int; default: 100). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.qc_dark.reg.box_sy [default = 100].

--qc_dark.reg.num_x <int>

Number of regions along the X axis (where mean/med/rms are computed). (int; default: 4). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.qc_dark.reg.num_x [default = 4].

--qc_dark.reg.num_y <int>

Number of regions along the Y axis(where mean/med/rms are computed). (int; default: 4). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.qc_dark.reg.num_y [default = 4].

--qc_dark.reg.when <int>

When QC analysis is performed. 0: on each raw frame or 1: on the master frame (int; default: 0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.qc_dark.reg.when [default = 0].

--stack_method <str>

Method used to build master frame (str; default: ´median´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.stack_method [default = median].

--stack_method <str>

Method used to build master frame (str; default: ´median´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mdark.stack_method [default = median].

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.
