The input files are: A raw frame on tagged as RAW\_ON \[optional\] A raw frame off RAW\_OFF A wavelength map, tagged as WAVE\_MAP A wavelength map, tagged as WAVE\_MAP A distortion table, tagged as DISTORTION A slitlets position table, tagged as SLIT\_POS ## OPTIONS - **--objnod-jit\_ind** *\* jitter mode indicator: TRUE: Auto-Jitter, FALSE: user defined jitter. The size\_x size\_y kernel\_type parameters are only used if jitterInd is set to yes, that means in auto-jittering mode. (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.objnod.jitter\_index** \[default = *True*\]. - **--objnod-kernel\_typ** *\* Kernel Type:the name of the interpolation kernel to shift the single cubes to the correct places inside the big combined cube (str; default: ´tanh´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.objnod.kernel\_type** \[default = *tanh*\]. - **--objnod-no\_coeffs** *\* number of coefficients for the polynomial interpolation (long; default: 3). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.objnod.n\_coeffs** \[default = *3*\]. - **--objnod-ns\_ind** *\* Nord South Index Switch: indicates if the slitlet distances are determined by a north-south-test (TRUE) or slitlet edge fits (FALSE) (bool; default: True). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.objnod.nord\_south\_index** \[default = *True*\]. - **--objnod-flux\_cor** *\* Flux correction: (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.objnod.flux\_cor** \[default = *False*\]. - **--objnod-fine\_tune\_mtd** *\* Fine Tuning Method: indicator for the shifting method to use (P: polynomial interpolation, S: cubic spline interpolation) (str; default: ´P´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.objnod.fine\_tuning\_method** \[default = *P*\]. - **--objnod-order** *\* Fine Tuning polynomial order: order of the polynomial if the polynomial interpolation shifting method is used. (long; default: 2). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **sinfoni.objnod.order** \[default = *2*\]. Note that it is possible to create a configuration file containing these options, along with suitable default values.

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.
