map-spectra

map-spectra calculates the mapping between science plane (wavelength and slit coordinate) and ccd focal plane for a given observation set.

USAGE
map-spectra observset
INPUT
observset.obsdefname of an existing observation definition file
OUTPUT
observset.map is a file with the mapping information
PARAMETERS
lambda0
minimum wavelength
lambda1
maximum wavelength
minpixl
minimum number of pixels of spectrum on a chip
disorder
order of fit to dispersion
sagorder
order of fit to spectrum curvature
tiltorder
order of fit to slit tilt
sagitorder
order of fit to slit curvature
slenorder
order of fit to slit scale changes


Details
Suggested fit order: 5-6 for dispersion and spectrum curvature, 3 for other terms. minpixl allows one to discard very short spectrum segments if desired.
