vircam_platesol
[Unit Test Recipes]

Name:

vircam_platesol

Purpose:

Test recipe to drive the vircam_platesol library function.

Description:

Test the library function vircam_platesol fitting a plate solution to a matched standards table. The results are written to the extension header of an input image, but the image header is not updated in this recipe. Rather the WCS values and QC information are written to a paf file.

Language:

C

Parameters:

• nconst (float): The number of plate constants in the fit.
• shiftan (bool): If set, then an attempt will be made to relocate the tangent point by looking at the predicted vs true equatorial coordinates in the matched standards catalogue.
• ext (int): The image extension of the input files to be done on this run. If all of the extensions are to be processed, then this should be set to zero.

Input File Types:

The following list gives the file types that can appear in the SOF file. The word in bold is the DO category value.

• SCIENCE_IMAGE (required): A single raw image. This is needed for its input WCS.
• MATCHED_STANDARDS_TABLE (required): A matched standards table.

Output File Types:

None. Results written to PAF

Output QC Parameters:

None.

Notes

None.

Fatal Error Conditions:

• Missing input image or matched standards table.
• Missing input WCS information in the input image

Non-Fatal Error Conditions:

None.
