OPTIONS¶
- --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_mkmaster.stack_method [default = median].
- --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_mkmaster.klow
[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_mkmaster.khigh
[default = 5.0].
- --niter <long>
- Number of kappa sigma iterations, when method is set to
´mean´ (long; default: 5). The full name of this option for
the EsoRex configuration file is uves_cal_mkmaster.niter [default =
5].
- --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].
- --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].

´both´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex
configuration file is uves.process_chip [default =

(50.0/4096) for red flat-field frames, (300.0/4096) for blue science
frames and (300.0/4096) for red science frames. (float; default: -1.0).
The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is
uves_cal_mkmaster.backsub.smoothx [default = -1.0].
- --backsub.smoothy <float>
- If spline interpolation is used to measure the background, the y-radius of

negative, the default values are used: (100.0/2048) for blue flat-field
frames, (300.0/2048) for red flat-field frames, (200.0/2048) for blue
