The purpose of this step is to resample all spectrograms in the input list to a common wavelength scale.
The control panel for this processor module is show below. For each individual spectrogram, the actual dispersion at the center of the spectrogram is displayed in the first column. These fields are not editable.
The only selectable parameter in this step is displayed in the Dispersion to use field. This field can be edited with whatever value one whishes to use for the dispersion of the processed version of each spectrogram.
The default value for the dispersion to use is the smallest of all the dispersions found in the table’s first column.
At this point only one resampling algorithm is provided. It is the same
algorithm used by the Synphot software in the STSDAS package (http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/stsdas).
In the future, if the need ever arises, other algorithms may be included as
options to the resampling process.
