--- name: "kmo_fits_check" section: "7" platform: "linux" package: "cpl-plugin-kmos-doc" version: "1.3.5+dfsg-1" release: "Debian 8 (Jessie)" platforms: ["linux"] url: "https://new.carta.tech/kmo_fits_check" --- # kmo\_fits\_check(7) Check contents of a KMOS fits-file ## NAME kmo\_fits\_check - Check contents of a KMOS fits-file ## SYNOPSIS esorex **kmo\_fits\_check** \[OPTIONS\] FILE.sof ## DESCRIPTION Recipe to print information on FITS files, contained data/noise values or header keywords of all extensions of a fits file, preferably a KMOS fits-file (RAW, F1I, F2I, F3I, F2D etc.). This recipe is intended for debugging purposes only. By default a short summary is printed. The following data types of keywords are recognized: bool, char, double, float, int, long, string As input one fits-file is accepted, no output frame is generated. ### BASIC PARAMETERS \--h With this parameter just the header keywords are printed:\ –1 prints the primary header and the headers of all the extensions\ 0 prints just the primary header\ 1 prints the header of the first extension etc. \--d With this parameter just the data (or depending on the extension: noise) is printed:\ –1 prints the primary header and the headers of all the extensions\ 0 prints data of the primary header which is empty for KMOS FITS frames\ 1 prints the data/noise of the first extension etc. This parameter should only be used with very small datasets, otherwise the screen will be flooded with numbers. Input files: DO KMOS \ category Type Explanation Required #Frames\ \-------- ----- ----------- -------- -------\ \ \ Any FITS file Y 1 Output files: DO KMOS\ category Type Explanation\ \-------- ----- -----------\ \ \ No output frames generated, only text output ## OPTIONS - **--data** *\* The extension whose data to print. (0 is the empty primary extension, -1 prints just all data extensions, by default all headers and data of all extensions are printed. (long; default: -2). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.fits\_check.data** \[default = *-2*\]. - **--header** *\* The extension whose header to print(0 is the empty primary extension, -1 prints just all headers, by default all headers and data of all extensions are printed. (long; default: -2). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **kmos.fits\_check.header** \[default = *-2*\]. Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values. Please refer to the details provided by the 'esorex --help' command. ## SEE ALSO The full documentation for the kmos pipeline can be downloaded as a PDF file using the following URL: - **ftp://ftp.eso.org/pub/dfs/pipelines/kmos/kmos-pipeline-manual-2.9.pdf** An overview over the existing ESO pipelines can be found on the web page **http://www.eso.org/sci/software/pipelines/**. 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.
