This information is used to determine the spectral extraction mask to be applied in the scientific data reduction, performed with the recipe fors\_science. This recipe accepts both FORS1 and FORS2 frames. The input arc lamps and flat field exposures are assumed to be obtained quasi-simultaneously, so that they would be described by exactly the same instrument distortions. A line catalog must be specified, containing the wavelengths of the reference arc lamp lines used for the wavelength calibration. A grism table (typically depending on the instrument mode, and in particular on the grism used) may also be specified: this table contains a default recipe parameter setting to control the way spectra are extracted for a specific instrument mode, as it is used for automatic run of the pipeline on Paranal and in Garching. If this table is specified, it will modify the default recipe parameter setting, with the exception of those parameters which have been explicitly modifyed on the command line. If a grism table is not specified, the input recipe parameters values will always be read from the command line, or from an esorex configuration file if present, or from their generic default values (that are rarely meaningful). Finally a master bias frame must be input to this recipe. The products SPECTRA\_DETECTION\_PMOS, SLIT\_MAP\_PMOS, and DISP\_RESIDUALS\_PMOS, are just created if the --check parameter is set to true. The MASTER\_DISTORTION\_TABLE is marked as required, but it is not so if all slits have different offsets, and in the case of FORS1 observations made with the old TK2048EB4-1 1604 chip read in windowed mode (2048x400) Input files: DO category: Type: Explanation: Required:\ SCREEN\_FLAT\_PMOS Raw Flat field exposures Y\ LAMP\_PMOS Raw Arc lamp exposure Y\ MASTER\_BIAS or BIAS Calib Bias frame Y\ MASTER\_LINECAT Calib Line catalog Y\ GRISM\_TABLE Calib Grism table .
