PESSTOEFOSC2dSPEC -f option

[cinserra]

According to the help

Options: --version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -i, --interactive
-C, --cosmic
-v, --verbose
-f, --flat
-F LISTFLAT, --listflat=LISTFLAT name flat list [] -b, --bias
-B LISTBIAS, --listbias=LISTBIAS name bias list [] -a LISTARC, --listarc=LISTARC name arc list []

What does the -f options? I guessed it was needed if the user wanted to reduce the spectrum without flats (at least in PESSTOEFOSCPHOT it means so) since if he/she wants to use a particular list of flat there is the -F option. I tried to do a reduction without flats for testing the S/N with and without flats but the pipeline does not like the lacking of flats (it allows you only to skip or exit)

Furthermore, also the -B option could appear misleading since it asks for a list of bias but the usage points to a single fits (likely the masterbias)

I don't understand why you want to reduce a single file with no flat field and no standard using PESSTO2DSPEC. you should use PESTOFAST for fast reducton. Anyhow if you want that I take a look you need to provide the files used

As I wrote, it was a test to check the S/N with and without flat (I meant to use the standard). It is OK if the pipeline doesn't handle that since we need this option only for tests. However what does the -f option? Is the -B option requiring a list or a single bias (masterbias)?

[svalenti]

-f is the option to don't perform flat correction, -B to don't perform bias correction. -B take as input pre reduced bias (in the same format of the bias that are in the archive directory. It can take a single frame of a list of bias

[cinserra]

OK, so -f doesn't seem working properly as you can see from screenshot#1. It doesn't allow the user to proceed without flat or I am missing something?

[svalenti]

the option -f and -b were not working if the input was a single frame
