The UVES 6.1.8 pipeline
###################################

These pages describe the python interface for the UVES pipeline recipes.

Standard recipes
----------------
:data:`flames_cal_mkmaster`
   Creates a master flat frame to support FIBER mode data reduction 

:data:`flames_cal_orderpos`
   Defines uves-echelle-simultaneous calibration fibre order positions

:data:`flames_cal_predict`
   Implements the UVES physical model

:data:`flames_cal_prep_sff_ofpos`
   Determines order and fibre postions

:data:`flames_cal_wavecal`
   Performs the wavelength calibration

:data:`flames_obs_scired`
   Reduces a FLAMES science image

:data:`uves_cal_cd_align`
   Measures the reproducability of the cross disperser positioning

:data:`uves_cal_mdark`
   Creates the master dark frame

:data:`uves_cal_mkmaster`
   Creates the master bias/dark/flat frame

:data:`uves_cal_orderpos`

:data:`uves_cal_mflat`
   Creates the master flat field frame

:data:`uves_cal_mflat_combine`
   Combines the master flat field and the master dflat frames

:data:`uves_obs_redchain`
   Runs the full UVES reduction chain

:data:`uves_utl_ima_arith`
   Computes result of ima1 op ima2

Bug reports
===========

If you experience an unexpected behavior of any component of the UVES
pipeline recipes package, please, first refer to the list of known problems
and limitations in the pipeline manual of the current UVES pipeline
release.

For any other issues or requests, please, send a report to the `ESO User
Support Department <usd-help@eso.org>`_, describing:

 * the UVES pipeline version,
 * the version of your OS and C compiler,
 * the exact sequence of actions that were performed before the problem occurred,
 * what were precisely the symptoms and the possible error message(s),
 * whether the problem is repeatable.
