xsh_mdark - Create the master dark frame

esorex xsh_mdark [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

This recipe creates a master dark frame Input Frames :
- A set of n RAW frames (Format=RAW, n >=3, Tag = DARK_arm)
- [UVB,VIS] A master bias frame (Format=PRE, Tag = MASTER_BIAS_arm)
- [OPTIONAL] A map of non linear bad pixels (Format=QUP, Tag = BP_MAP_NL_arm)
- [OPTIONAL] A map of reference bad pixels (Format = QUP,RAW, Tag = BP_MAP_RP_arm) Products :
- A master dark frame (Format=PRE, PRO.CATG = MASTER_DARK_arm)
A dark frame, (Format=PRE, PRO.CATG = DARK_arm)

Basic documentation about the EsoRex program can be found at the esorex (1) man page.

It is possible to call the pipelines from python using the python-cpl package. See https://packages.python.org/python-cpl/index.html for further information.
