Reference File Testing Tool

Requirements

The Reference File Testing Tool has the following dependencies:

• Python 2.7
• SQLAlchemy
• Astropy
• JWST Calibration Pipeline

Installing the Reference File Testing Tool

The Tool is currently in early development and must be installed from the GitHub development repository.

Using pip

To install the Tool with pip, simply run:

pip install git+git://github.com/STScI-MESA/reference-file-testing-tool.git@v0.1

Building from source

The latest development version of the Tool can be cloned from GitHub using this command:

git clone git://github.com/STScI-MESA/reference-file-testing-tool.git

To install the Tool (from the root of the source tree):

python setup.py install

Basic usage

The basic component of the Reference File Testing Tool is the test_reference_file function. After installing the package it can be called from the command line with:

test_reference_file /path/to/my/reference_file --data /path/to/some_uncal.fits

where the --data argument is some suitable level 1b JWST data. This will run the JWST calibration pipeline on the uncalibrated data overriding the default reference file with the one supplied.
