A set of default rules is provided for classifying the EMMI/SUSI frames according to their exposure types and optical paths. By default frames are classified according to the following scheme: BIAS: exposure time .EQ. 0 DARK: exposure time .GT. 0 .AND. shutter closed FFLAMP: lamp .EQ. "FF-BLUE" .OR. lamp .EQ."FF-RED".OR. lamp .EQ. "LAMBDA-R" .OR. lamp .EQ. "LAMBDA-B" FFDOME: ident .EQ. "~*FF*" .AND. telescope in dome ff position FFSKY: ident .EQ. "~*SKY*" .AND. altitude .GT. 32 degrees FFSKY?: ident .EQ. "~*FF*" .AND. altitude .GT. 32 degrees WCAL: acquisition system supplied exposure type .EQ. "CAL" .AND. lamp present FOCUS: grism .EQ. "FOCW" .OR. acquisition system supplied exposure type .EQ. "FOI" .OR. acquisition system supplied exposure type .EQ. "FOC" .OR. SCI; none of the above By default the optical path is categorized by a character string which is built from the optical elements used: Red Imaging: RFILT_filter#(filtername) Blue Imaging: BFILT_filter#(filtername) Susi Imaging: SFILT_filter#(filtername) Grism Spectroscopy: RFILT_filter#(filtername)+GRISM_grism# Red Grating Spectroscopy: RGRAT_grating#(central wavelength) Blue Grating Spectroscopy: BGRAT_grating#(central wavelength) Echelle Spectroscopy: GRISM_grism#+GRAT_grating# Dichroid Mode Spectroscopy: RGRAT_grating#(central wavelength)+ BGRAT_grating#(central wavelength)
