The program can be started with no arguments at all, in which case the
parameter values are taken from the parameterfile.
Alternatively, values can be passed via the commandline, the
required items as command arguments, the optional ones as valued switches.
The table lists all the parameters used by instrument, the second column lists the paramater key names used in the parameterfile, the first column gives the corresponding switch letter,
| switch | key | value | IO | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mskfile | string | i | input mask, maskpattern file (FITS). | |
| detfile | string | i | input det, detector datafile (FITS). | |
| focallen | real | i | input, "focallength', the mask-detector distance (mm). | |
| insfile | string | o | output, the instrument data filename IDF | |
| u | rotangle | int | i | compute shadow corrected Tk factors. |
| r | rotangle | real | i | mask-detector rotation. |
| x | rotcntrx | real | i | mask-detector rotation center, x. |
| y | rotcntry | real | i | mask-detector rotation center, y. |
| c | resci | real | i | sky image resolution. |
| d | resdi | real | i | detector image resolution. |
| n | dnlfile | string | i | DO NOT USE!!!. differential detector non-linearity data, replaced by the integral non-linearity data in detectorfile. |
| p | debug | int | i | only as first commandline argument: ignore parameterfile, set debuglevel. general |
| i | title | string | i | file title, description cq. comments. general |
| L | logfile | string | i | redirect diagnostic and informational messages. see general |
| mode | "ql" | i | has meaning for (some) parameterfile parsers/readers only. |
