ECH_GENFLAT


Function

Output flat-field balance factors to an image.

Summary

Within ECHOMOP there are only limited facilities for inspecting the flat-field balance factors. ECH_GENFLAT outputs the balance factors produced by ECH_FFIELD to an image frame. This image frame can then be inspected using, for example, KAPPA DISPLAY.

The image produced by ECH_GENFLAT corresponds to that produced by the IRAF command apflatten. Ideally, the frame should be flat at a value of one in the inter-order regions and display only a smoothly-varying function in the orders themselves.
