.SH NAME
muse_scipost_combine_pixtables \- Combine MUSE pixel tables, either from different IFUs, or from different exposures, or both.

.SH SYNOPSIS
esorex
.B muse_scipost_combine_pixtables
[OPTIONS] FILE.sof

.SH DESCRIPTION
Sort pixel tables by exposure and combine them with applied weights into one big pixel table. This is a task separated from muse_scipost.

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-\-lambdamin\fR \fI<float>\fR
Cut off the data below this wavelength after loading the pixel
table(s). (float; default: 4000.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
file is \fBmuse.muse_scipost_combine_pixtables.lambdamin\fR [default = \fI4000.0\fR].
.TP
\fB\-\-lambdamax\fR \fI<float>\fR
Cut off the data above this wavelength after loading the pixel
table(s). (float; default: 10000.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
file is \fBmuse.muse_scipost_combine_pixtables.lambdamax\fR [default = \fI10000.0\fR].
.TP
\fB\-\-weight\fR \fI<str>\fR
Type of weighting scheme to use when combining multiple exposures.
"exptime" just uses the exposure time to weight the exposures, "fwhm"
uses the DIMM information in the header as well, "none" preserves an
existing weight column in the input pixel tables without changes.
(str; default: \'exptime\'). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration
file is \fBmuse.muse_scipost_combine_pixtables.weight\fR [default = \fIexptime\fR].

.PP
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.
