New SINKCORR step to apply new SNKCFILE in order to flag sink pixels. See ACS ISR 2017-01.
-
New pixel based PCTECORR algorithm implemented (
CTE_NAME= 'PixelCTE 2017'
).- The code defaults to this new algorithm, however, the old one can still be executed using the command line option
--ctegen <1|2>
. Note: The correct accompanying PCTETAB file must also be used. - The user can now override the PCTETAB file used (normally specified in the image header) with the command line option
--pctetab <file path>
. - The number of threads used for computing the PCTECORR can now be specified with the command line option
--nthreads <N>
. Note: OPENMP is required for N > 1.
