On-line reduction options during the night

The context keywords allow to control the parameters of the reduction process. The keywords can be listed together with their current contents by the command SHOW/FEROS and are set with the command SET/FEROS key=[value].

If the keywords are set to new values, they will only affect the automatic on-line DRS for next incoming files. If one of the files already transfered to the IWS (fero[filenum].mt should be reduced again according to the new settings of the keywords, this is easily achieved by re-starting the @@ autoreduce command manually as follows:

@@ autoreduce fero [filenum]

Useful keywords for the observing session might be:
