binadapt (binadapt-0.16.1) [22.0.0-9173c7d25-20250127]

Parameters

This section documents the parameters recognized by this task (if any).

The program defaults to deriving a filename of the form comb-elow-ehigh.fits. If using singular expids, enter that as the prefix. If left blank (AND withmask=T), binadapt will derive a mask filename based on other parameters. The mask images must be the same size and projection as the other images. Since masks can come from many sources, it is recommended the user enter withmask=T maskfile=yourmaskfile together. In the default mode the average exposure is calculated and then any pixel with exposure less than fraction*average value is excluded.

Parameter	Mand	Type	Default	Constraints
