.TH FORS_CONFIG "7" "5.5.7" "fors_config" "fors recipes" .SH NAME fors_config \- Creation of FORS recipes configuration tables .SH SYNOPSIS esorex .B fors_config [OPTIONS] FILE.sof .SH DESCRIPTION This recipe is used to create the so\-called GRISM_TABLE, containing all the FORS spectral pipeline configuration parameters related to a specific grism. This is a way to provide for each specific instrument mode a set of appropriate defaults for the recipe parameters. .PP The values assigned to each input parameter of fors_config are simply copied to a FITS table consisting of one row, and as many columns as the input parameter: each column will have the same name and type of each parameter. Only the three parameters "instrument", "grism", and "id" are not written to the table columns, but to the descriptor header keywords INSTRUME, ESO INS GRIS1 NAME, and ESO INS GRIS1 ID, that will be used by the automatic pipeline for appropriate data association. .PP Input files: none DO category: Type: Explanation: Required: Output files: DO category: Data type: Explanation: GRISM_TABLE FITS table Recipe configuration parameters .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB\-\-dispersion\fR \fI\fR Expected spectral dispersion (Angstrom/pixel) (float; default: 0.0).
