reduced darks and flats#

Behavior#

This widget generates dark and/or flat fields for an acquisition.

There are two options available:

remove if existing: This will remove dark and reference files if they already exist.
skip if already existing: This will skip dark and/or flat field generation if the files are already present.

Note

The dark and/or flat fields will be generated inside the acquisition directory.

Note

You can access this process without using Orange by running:

tomwer darkref [acquisition folder]

To find the reference and dark files, we use Python’s re library. Here are a few examples of how to use it:

.*conti_dark.*: Filters files containing the phrase conti_dark.
darkend[0-9]{3,4}: Filters files named darkend followed by three or four digits (with the .edf extension).
ref*.*[0-9]{3,4}_[0-9]{3,4}: Filters files named ref, followed by any character and ending with X_Y, where X and Y are groups of three or four digits.

For more examples and usage, see the re library page.
