mikesetup
argumentdescriptions
-2D*generates 2D spectra, and simple (non-GHLB) 1D extractions
-allgenerates pipelines for all targets
-blueoption generates pipelines for blue frames
-date DATEoption generates pipelines for specific date
-db DATABASEdatabase file
-dkx FLOATset non-standard knot spacing for skysub
-flatblue FLATBLUElocation to a specific flatblue frame
-flatkey FLATSTRINGstring to search for flat frames in database file
-flatred FLATREDlocation to a specific flatred frame
-fringe FRINGElocation to a specific fringe frame
-fringekey FRINGESTRINGstring to search for fringe frames in database file
-ignoresets ignore string
-individualseparate extractions
-lampblue LAMPBLUElocation to a specific lampblue frame
-lampkey LAMPSTRINGstring to search for lamp frames in database file
-lampred LAMPREDlocation to a specific lampred frame
-logboption bins extracted spectra logarithmically in wavelength
-mk MAKEFILEcreates a makefile for multiple targets
-nofakedo not make model spectra (less time to run)
-noobjects(a) Compute sky masks instead of sky apertures; construct wide/dummy extraction apertures, and in 2D mode do not extract 1D spectra
-noskyapsDo not compute sky apertures or masks
-noslitfnoption skips the generation and usage of a slit function
-onlyflatOnly generate the flatfield pipelines
-onlylampOnly generate the comparison lamp pipelines
-orderkey ORDERSTRINGstring to search for order frames in database file
-orderspanOptional comma-separated pair of column coordinates to specify portion of data frames to be reduced (e.g. To reduce the reddest 500 columns, use "-orderspan 0,500")
-redoption generates pipelines for red frames
-rnRead noise, in electrons, if the header values are not to be used
-skykeyString to identify science frames to be used as sky frames
-skyshiftUse sky lines to compute zero-point shifts in the red wavelength solutions [unstable]
-slitblue SLITBLUElocation to a specific slitblue frame
-slitred SLITREDlocation to a specific slitred frame

* option is experimental

science frames
file extensions descriptions
f divided bv flatfield
ff divided by flatfield and fringe frame; i.e. red only, and optional
s divided by slit-function
m model of sky
o (object) model of sky has been subtracted
p fake frame, GHLB fit to o
lamp frames
file extensions descriptions
f divided flatfielded
s divided slitfunction
b spacial filtered to isolated th ar lines
_scat generated during spacial filtering (temp) not useful
x-rect frame containing rect transforms (line curvature)
specs 1d extracted th ar spectra for each order used for wavelength cal.
