List of workflow tasks

This is the list of all the tasks and associated recipes in the XSHOOTER workflow. Only some of them are needed for scientific reduction, they are indicated by the flag “yes” (triggered by default) or “optional” (triggered only if requested by a workflow parameter). Other tasks are not used for scientific reduction (they are indicated by the flag “no”), they are mainly used for instrument monitoring and they can be executed only by specifying them as target. Note that, when a task is specified as target, all the tasks that generate the calibrations needed for it are automatically executed.
