psfind

This OTW script reads the X,Y,Ra,Dec values collected by previously run scripts and derives the image plate scale.


% psfind.sh wcs_setup.out  

arg1 = name of input [name,x,y,r,d] file (e.g. wcs_setup.out)

A typical run in a script (like wcs1): 
# Derive the plate scale
psfind.sh $2 > WCS1_Info.Plate_Scale

The plate scale and the estimate mean error (in arcsec/pixel) are written to standard out. In a script these results are typically directed to an output file (as shown above)
