Running PypeIt¶
This document describes the process to run the reduction. It assumes:
- You have already properly inspected and fussed with your setups (Setups)
- You have entered one of the setup sub-folders
- You have calcheck on the custom PypeIt Reduction File and edited it as needed
- You have double checked that neither run calcheck nor run setup are set to True in your custom PypeIt Reduction File
See the PypeIt Cookbook for additional details.
run_pypeit¶
The main script to run the PypeIt reduction is run_pypeit. It should have been installed in your Python path. Here is its usage:
usage: run_pypeit [-h] [-v VERBOSITY] [-m] [-d] [--debug_arc] pypeit_file
