mosaicmerge (mosaicmerge-0.14.1) [xmmsas_20230412_1735-21.0.0]

Parameters

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

NOTE1: It is possible to both create a mosaic using cheese masks AND apply an additional cheese mask to the final output mosaic.
NOTE2: It is NOT possible to apply both a cheese mask AND an ordinary mask.
NOTE3: If mosaicking cheese masks, the default cheesemosaictype is t (total band). If that is NOT desired, simply set the parameter cheesemosaictype to one of the other allowed options (i.e., s/h/smsl/hmsl/tmsl)

Parameter	Mand	Type	Default	Constraints
dirfile	no	string	dir.list
File containing the list of exposures, including the directory string, for data to be merged. For instance, if the merging processing is being done in the directory /DATA/merge and the individual observations are located in the parallel directories /DATA/obs1/proc and /DATA/obs2/proc, the file dirlist could have entries such as: /DATA/obs1/proc/mos1S001 /DATA/obs1/proc/mos2S002 /DATA/obs1/proc/pnS003 /DATA/obs2/proc/mos1S001 /DATA/obs2/proc/mos2S002 /DATA/obs2/proc/pnS003
