Low threshold in ksigma method (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_dark.klow [default = 3.0].

--khigh <float>

High threshold in ksigma method (float; default: 3.0). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_dark.khigh [default = 3.0].

--kiter <long>

Max number of iterations in ksigma method (long; default: 999). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is fors.fors_dark.kiter [default = 999].
