Calibrations

 
@calcubes
Script command to obtain a set of three completely sampled Neon calibration cubes. This script shows how to use the fpseq command in a non-interactive manner. It may need to be edited for use (e.g., the filter name).

@fpflat <startz> <deltaz> <fsr> <time> <filter>
Script command to obtain a flatfield image through the Fabry-Perot system. This script cycles through an entire free spectral range of the etalon, integrating the CCD at a large number of specific etalon spacings. Such a procedure is necessary due to the fact that the etalon modulates the incoming light with its wavelength-dependent instrumental profile, removing its ``white'' nature. The @fpeon script is a simplified version of @fpflat.

Images taken with the @fpflat script are ultimately obtained using the keep command and will therefore be given image names beginning with the letter `k'. Be sure to check the resulting flats to make sure that they contain sufficient flux, but are not saturated.
