NAME: gradeflat PURPOSE: (one line only) Automatic quality grading of a set of CCD flat images against a superflat DESCRIPTION: CATEGORY: CCD data processing CALLING SEQUENCE: gradeflat,cube,flat,grade,fail INPUTS: cube - 3-d cube of original flat images, if you need to subtract overscan and crop, this should be done prior to building the cube flat - 2-d image which is the superflat frame OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS: KEYWORD INPUT PARAMETERS: DISPLAY - Flag, if set, generates some diagnostic plots MAXSIG - Maximum sigma excursion allowed for an image (default=3) before it is flagged as bad. OUTPUTS: grade - This is the grade of this cube/flat pair. This is related to a unit of standard deviation. A bad set of data will have a large value, typically much greater than 3. A good set of data will be comfortably less than 3. fail - This is the number of frames that fail the test of being consistent with the ensemble of frames. This number will be somewhere between 0 and the number of frames in the cube. Don't expect this number to be zero but it should be small. KEYWORD OUTPUT PARAMETERS: SIGRATIO - Standard deviation of the individual good image grades. COMMON BLOCKS: SIDE EFFECTS: RESTRICTIONS: This tool is ok but could be better.
