FLATFILES.TXT

Category B Version 3.0.1

Description

This input file is a list of files that SPC will use to apply a flat field to the images. FLATFILES.TXT is used by process_fits. (See that entry for more information.)

  • Column 1 - Camera
  • Column 2 - Filter
  • Column 3 - "Filename" This is referenced from the working directory

. /!\ If column 3 contains "NONE" (case matters), then SPC will skip looking for a flat file for that camera/filter.

Here is a sample FLATFILES.TXT file:

1  0 'NONE'
1  1 'NONE'
1  2 'NONE'
1  3 'NONE'
1  4 'NONE'
1  5 'NONE'
1  6 'NONE'
1  7 'DATA/MCAM_L_PAN_FlatFieldCorrection_20150120_V001.fits'
2  0 'NONE'
2  1 'NONE'
2  2 'NONE'
2  3 'NONE'
2  4 'NONE'
2  5 'NONE'
3  0 'DATA/PCAM_L_PAN_FlatFieldCorrection_20150318_V002.fits'
4  0 'DATA/new-navFlat.fits'
5  0 'DATA/new-navFlat.fits'

. /!\ The flat file should be in FITS format with NAXIS1 and NAXIS2 defined. It is expected to be a signed float in MSB format.
