Survey the acm images for a given night (specified with local BaseDir and Date files) and assemble a table file. These data, including the acm images, can be inspected with codes like xyplotter_auto , table_point_selector , point_selector. Such a table can be used to summarize image types using acm_table_qc.
It is is important to note that this code creates a local ./local_red/BASIC subdirectory. In the past this subdirectory was used to perform batch header processing. This subdirectory is no longer needed when we run the pasa routine to process acm images. I sometimes delete the BASIC subdirectory before running a set of images with acmred_list, however, it is not big deal if this subdirectory is left to remain.
% acm_table --help Usage: acm_table 10.0 N arg1 - Percentage of image height used for statistics arg2 - run in verbose/debug mode (Y/N)The important products are the ACM table files. The acm_table_qc can be used to surevy the ACM table and establish the files: list.BIAS, list.DARK, and list.OPEN (the bias, dark, and sky images).
Below I show a typical run.
% ls BaseDir Date S/ % cat BaseDir /media/sco/DataDisk1/sco/AD/HET_work/acm_raw_subsets % cat Date 20180222 % acm_table 10.0 N % ls ACM.images ACM.parlab ACM.table BaseDir Date list.IMAGES LIST.IN LIST.OUT local_red/ S/ xyplotter_auto.pars % ls ./local_red/ BASIC/As noted , I can delete ./local_red/BASIC is desired.
There are a number of routines crititcal to acm_table that I revised in Feb2019 to allow effecient operation even on mcs. Some of the more important ones are:
pas_imlistgen image_process_list acm_list_markII survey_images.sh acm_table_files To use the table file made with acm_table: Generic_Points xyplotter_auto point_selector
