.. title:: Overview The VIMOS 4.1.7 pipeline ################################### These pages describe the python interface for the VIMOS pipeline recipes. Standard recipes ---------------- :data:`vmbias` Create a master bias from set of raw bias frames. :data:`vmdark` Create a master dark from set of raw dark frames. :data:`vmdet` Determine RON, gain, and bad pixels from a set of flat field exposures. :data:`vmifucalib` Generate IFU calibrations from a set of flat and arc lamp exposures. :data:`vmifuscience` Extract spectra from an IFU scientific exposure. :data:`vmifustandard` Extract a standard star spectrum. :data:`vmmoscalib` Determination of the extraction mask :data:`vmmosscience` Extraction of scientific spectra Additional recipes -------------------- :data:`vimos_ima_bias` Bias combination for imaging :data:`vimos_ima_dark` Dark combination for imaging :data:`vimos_ima_det_noise` Detector noise for imaging :data:`vimos_ima_fringe` Fringe frame creation for imaging :data:`vimos_ima_science` Science processing for imaging :data:`vimos_ima_standard` Standard field processing for imaging :data:`vimos_ima_twilight_flat` Twilight flat combination for imaging :data:`vmifucombine` Combine partial IFU field-of-views reconstructed by vmifuscience from different quadrants. :data:`vmifucombinecube` Rearrange into cube format images of extracted spectraproduced by vmifucalib, vmifuscience, and vmifustandard. :data:`vmspphot` Apply to IFU or MOS 1D-extracted spectra a flux correction. .. toctree:: :hidden: vmbias vmdark vmdet vmifucalib vmifuscience vmifustandard vmmoscalib vmmosscience vimos_ima_bias vimos_ima_dark vimos_ima_det_noise vimos_ima_fringe vimos_ima_science vimos_ima_standard vimos_ima_twilight_flat vmifucombine vmifucombinecube vmspphot .. seealso:: * The `VIMOS Pipeline User Manual `_ in PDF format, * an `overview `_ over the existing ESO pipelines, * the `python-cpl `_ package. Bug reports =========== If you experience an unexpected behavior of any component of the VIMOS pipeline recipes package, please, first refer to the list of known problems and limitations in the pipeline manual of the current VIMOS pipeline release. For any other issues or requests, please, send a report to the `ESO User Support Department `_, describing: * the VIMOS 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.
