visir_util_spc_txt2fits(7) Generate spectrum calibration FITS tables

SYNOPSIS

esorex visir_util_spc_txt2fits [OPTIONS] FILE.sof

DESCRIPTION

This recipe shall be used to generate spectrum calibration tables.

The sof file shall consist of 1 line with the name of an ASCII-file currently tagged with either SPC_LINES_ASCII or SPC_QEFF_ASCII.

The file must comprise two columns: 1st: Must be wavelengths in increasing order in units of meter 2nd: For SPC_LINES_ASCII-files must be the atmospheric emission, while
     for SPC_QEFF_ASCII-files must be the quantum efficiency of the detector.

A SPC_LINES_ASCII-file will generate a SPEC_CAL_LINES-file, and a SPC_QEFF_ASCII-file will generate a SPEC_CAL_QEFF-file.

The current SPEC_CAL_LINES- and SPEC_CAL_QEFF-files are generated using the ASCII-files in the catalogs/ directory of the VISIR source-code distribution.

OPTIONS

--qeff <float>
