NAME: ccdcal PURPOSE: Batch mode image calibration program (apply bias, dark and flats) DESCRIPTION: CATEGORY: CCD data processing CALLING SEQUENCE: ccdcal,root,num1,num2 INPUTS: root - Root of image file names. The file names are assumed to be in the form of root.NNN where NNN is a 3 digit number. This argument can also be a string array of fully formed file names. If the file names include a path, then the PATH keyword should normally not be used since PATH will be prepended to the name provided in this argument. If a string or string array is given for explicit names then num1 and num2 must not be provided. num1 - first image file to process, this argument can also be an explicit vector list of number to process. In this case, num2 is ignored. num2 - last image file to process OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS: KEYWORD INPUT PARAMETERS: CALIBFILE : Calibration startup file. Default is CALIBPATH/files.cal CALIBPATH : Path for calibration files. Default is PATH/calib DIGITS - Optional input to indicate how many digits are in the suffix of the file name. The default for this input is 0. In this case it uses the ROBOCCD scheme which is three digits up to 999. After that, it gets complicated, see numtoflist for more information. If you were to give it a value of three you would get the same behavior except you won't get the ROBOCDD extension. This is really designed for when you have four or more digits. KEYLIST : Name of a file containing a correspondence list. This list associates a set of standard names with the actual keyword names found in a FITS file header. If this keyword is omitted, a default list is used, as if a file with the following contents had been supplied: AIRMASS K AIRMASS DATE K DATE-OBS DATETMPL T DD-MM-YYYY EXPDELTA V 0.0 EXPTIME K EXPTIME FILTER K FILTERS FILENAME K CCDFNAME OBJECT K OBJECT UT K UT The middle column is a flag. It may be K, for Keyword, T, for Template, or V, for Value. If it is V, the contents of the third field on that line should make sense for the name in the first field. KEYREQUIRED : Optional keyword/value pair (string array). If supplied, then only those images having the keyword/value pair in their headers will be processed. NOFLOAT : Flag, if set will force data to be rescaled back into a 2-byte integer before writing. Note that this can cause loss of information for images that have little to no sky signal. PATH : Optional path for raw image and calibration directory. If not specified, the current directory is used. PREFIX : string to prepend to output files. If PATH=OUTPATH the default is 'c_', otherwise, the default is no prefix. OUTPATH : Optional path for location to write final calibrated images. Default is the current directory. OVERWRITE - Flag, if set will force the program to overwrite any output images that already exit. The default is to skip things that are already present. This flag would normally be used only with the calibration prescription has changed. SILENT - Flag, if set will suppress printed output (other than errors).

Buie, Lowell Observatory, 1999 Nov 11 2000/02/06, MWB, added .fits optional tag on file name 2001/11/09, MWB, added support for an input list of file numbers. 2004/05/06, MWB, now creates output directory if not present 2004/06/26, MWB, added new string array input for root input argument. Also added KEYREQUIRED and NOFLOAT keywords. 2007/01/03, MWB, fixed problem with BSCALE and floating point images. 2010/11/17, MWB, added SILENT keyword 2016/05/29, MWB, added DIGITS keyword
