Output is a MASTER\_FLAT\_xxxx ## OPTIONS - **--debug** *\* Whether or not to save intermediate results to local directory (bool; default: False). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **uves.debug** \[default = *False*\]. - **--order\_threshold** *\* Order where master flats are joined (int; default: 7). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **uves.order\_threshold** \[default = *7*\]. - **--plotter** *\* Any plots produced by the recipe are redirected to the command specified by this parameter. The plotting command must contain the substring ´gnuplot´ and must be able to parse gnuplot syntax on its standard input. Valid examples of such a command may include ´gnuplot -persist´ and ´cat \> mygnuplot$$.gp´. A finer control of the plotting options can be obtained by writing an executable script, e.g. my\_gnuplot.pl, that executes gnuplot after setting the desired gnuplot options (e.g. set terminal pslatex color). To turn off plotting, set this parameter to ´no´ (str; default: ´no´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **uves.plotter** \[default = *no*\]. - **--process\_chip** *\* For RED arm data process the redl, redu, or both chip(s) (str; default: ´both´). The full name of this option for the EsoRex configuration file is **uves.process\_chip** \[default = *both*\]. 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 uves pipeline can be downloaded as a PDF file using the following URL: - **ftp://ftp.eso.org/pub/dfs/pipelines/uves/uves-pipeline-manual-6.1.8.pdf** An overview over the existing ESO pipelines can be found on the web page **https://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.
