When using the ECHMENU task a number of tasks offer optional subtasks. These are invoked by using the syntax
n.m
where n is the option number and m the suboption. Selecting just an option number causes all the suboptions to be run in sequence automatically.
Help on the current default option may be obtained by typing 0 or HELP.
To edit/view the parameters used by an option/suboption the number should be prefixed by a `-' sign. For example,
-1.3
would invoke parameter edit/view for suboption 3 of option 1.
When processing many similar frames it may be useful to `clone' results from previous reduction structure files. In order to do this the following syntax is used:
n<reduction_file
e.g.,
5<reduction7
would copy the flat-fielding results from reduction structure file `reduction7' into the current file, instead of calculating them again. Cloning is available for all processing options.
