extnor


 EXTNOR -- normal extraction routine by summation across object region.

 'extnor' requires an estimated sky region from 'skyfit' and will
 estimate uncertainties according to parameters of a noise model.

 Bad pixels: Any bad pixel in the data, balance or sky fit frames
 will casue the respective row to be lost.

  IMAGE   -- The data file for extraction.

  FLAT    -- Contains balance factors which when multiplied into
             the data correct for short scale sensitivity
             variations.

  DLOAD   -- TRUE if dark frame is required.

  DARK    -- Dark frame representing counts unaffected by slit
             profile. This will be subtracted off data before applying
             the balance factors. 

  REGION  -- Contains the object region limits. This file should
             have been generated by 'regpic' or 'skymov'.

  SKY     -- Contains fits to the background sky in the region of
             the object. Produced by 'skyfit'.

  TRACE   -- True if you want to include a poly fit to the X position of
             the spectrum (made with 'track').

  If TRACE

     TRACK   -- Name of poly fit distortion map file

  SPECT   -- The output file for both the spectrum and the uncertainty
             estimates.

  YSTART,YEND -- The Y pixel limit of the extraction.

  READOUT -- The readout noise of the detector in RMS data units/pixel

  PHOTON  -- The number of photons per data number.

This command belongs to the classes: tilted , extract
