NAME¶

kmo_fits_check - Check contents of a KMOS fits-file

SYNOPSIS¶

esorex kmo_fits_check [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION¶

Recipe to print information on FITS files, contained data/noise values or header keywords of all extensions of a fits file, preferably a KMOS fits-file (RAW, F1I, F2I, F3I, F2D etc.). This recipe is intended for debugging purposes only. By default a short summary is printed. The following data types of keywords are recognized: bool, char, double, float, int, long, string As input one fits-file is accepted, no output frame is generated.

BASIC PARAMETERS¶

--h With this parameter just the header keywords are printed:
–1 prints the primary header and the headers of all the extensions
0 prints just the primary header
1 prints the header of the first extension etc. --d With this parameter just the data (or depending on the extension: noise) is printed:
–1 prints the primary header and the headers of all the extensions
0 prints data of the primary header which is empty for KMOS FITS frames
1 prints the data/noise of the first extension etc. This parameter should only be used with very small datasets, otherwise the screen will be flooded with numbers.
Input files:
DO KMOS
category Type Explanation Required #Frames
-------- ----- ----------- -------- -------
<none or any> <any> Any FITS file Y 1
Output files:
DO KMOS
category Type Explanation
-------- ----- -----------
<none> <none> No output frames generated, only text output

OPTIONS¶

--data <long>

The extension whose data to print. (0 is the empty primary extension, -1 prints just all data extensions, by default all headers and data of all extensions are printed. (long; default: -2). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.fits_check.data [default = -2].

--header <long>

The extension whose header to print(0 is the empty primary extension, -1 prints just all headers, by default all headers and data of all extensions are printed. (long; default: -2). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is kmos.fits_check.header [default = -2].

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.
