NAME: mkcalib PURPOSE: Interactive program for creating CCD calibration files. DESCRIPTION: CATEGORY: CCD data processing CALLING SEQUENCE: mkcalib INPUTS: Everything is asked for interactively OPTIONAL INPUT PARAMETERS: KEYWORD INPUT PARAMETERS: FILKEY = String - FITS keyword to read to get filter code, default = FILPOS Note: If you have multiple filter wheels AND you have a set of keywords in the form KEYn where n is a single digit number and KEY is a static string pattern (eg., FILT_0, FILT_1, etc.), then give this keyword as KEY* (ex: FILT_*). When processed, you will get a string back from the concatenation of all the filter strings, separated by '+'. EXPKEY = String - FITS keyword to read to get exposure time, default = EXPTIME JUSTMEDIAN - Flag, if set will stop processing after the initial median combination of the image cube and this will be the final answer. However, this is only honored if the NORMALIZE and PRESCALE flags are both set. This should only be used if the intrinsic noise level of the result can never drop below 1 DN. This flag only affects the flat field processing step. The default is sigma clipping. OVERSCAN = column overscan region to use for frame bias level, default=[515,531] CROP = region of original image to save, default=[0,511,0,511] DDIR = String, name of directory where data exists. If not provided, the program will ask for it interactively. RDNOISE - Read noise of CCD, e-/DN, default=10 ROOT = String, root of file name for data, usually YYMMDD (ut date). Program will ask for this if not provided. SCALE - 4 element vector which, if provide, defines the region of the array dimensions that are used to scale the mean of the arrays before combining (. If combined in this manner, the arrays are combined weighted by the means. [x1,x2,y1,y2] (Used for flats only.) These coordinates apply to the pixel locations AFTER cropping. OUTPUTS: All output is confined to files. KEYWORD OUTPUT PARAMETERS: COMMON BLOCKS: SIDE EFFECTS: RESTRICTIONS: PROCEDURE: MODIFICATION HISTORY: 96/01/07 - Marc W. Buie, Lowell Observatory 96/05/24 - MWB, added PICKFILE support, various bug fixes, improvements to the files.cal file creation. 96/06/08 - MWB, added DDIR and ROOT 2000/02/06, MWB, added .fits optional tag on file name 2000/03/14, MWB, replaced spawn,copy with new Filecopy routine. 2000/03/24, MWB, substantial changes to make program platform independent. 2003/10/01, MWB, converted my Filecopy call to system file_copy routine converted my Filemove call to system file_move routine converted my Mkdir calls to IDL file_mkdir calls 2006/07/14, MWB, added RDNOISE keyword 2006/07/25, MWB, slight mod to support multiple filter wheels, plus changed PICKFILE calls to DIALOG_PICKFILE 2006/07/27, MWB, added JUSTMEDIAN keyword
