1. Introduction
#####################################################################


This document contains information specific to using CRUSH-2 to reduce data 
from MUSTANG-2. It is assumed that you are already familiar with the contents 
of the main CRUSH-2 README (inside the distribution directory), especially its 
Section 1 (Getting Started). 

If you run into difficulty understanding the concepts in this document, you
will probably find it useful to study the main README document a little longer.

2. Locating Scans
#####################################################################


2.1 By file names
=================    

   For single scans, it may be the simplest to specify the file name itself
   (especially if your OS or shell supports autocompletion). Simply 
   give the file name, either as a fully qualified path name, or relative
   to the 'datapath' setting. Thus,

       > crush mustang2 ~/data/2015_04_12_03_58_30.fits
       
   and

       > crush mustang2 -datapath=~/data 2015_04_12_03_58_30.fits
   
   are equivalent.



2.2 By date and time...
=======================

   [not yet implemented!!!]

   When reducing several scans together (which is the recommended way to deal
   with datasets), it may be more convenient to use a combination of
   'datapath', 'date' and start times, and let crush find the
   desired data files based on these. E.g.:
   
       > crush mustang2 -datapath=/data \
                     -date=2010-11-08 03:58 04:12 \
                     -date=2011-02-13 09:17 09:33 09:46

   Of course, for each scan, or set of scans, you may add additional options
   such as pointing corrections (via 'pointing') or in-band opacities (via
   'tau'), or calibration corrections (via 'scale') etc.

3. MUSTANG-2 specific pixel divisions
#####################################################################

For a general overview of channel divisions, please consult Section 3.
(Correlated Signals) in the main README document.

   mux		A grouping of detectors based on their SQUID multiplexing.

   pols		Grouping of detectors by their polarization


#####################################################################
4. Glossary of MUSTANG-2 specific options
#####################################################################

 
 
   frequencies.<n>=<path>	@Expert
				Specify the location of the ASCII table that
			contains the rest frequencies (GHz) of the channels on
			readout <n>. E.g.:

			  frequencies.1 {@CRUSH}/mustang2/m1_resonance.txt
			  frequencies.2 {@CRUSH}/mustang2/m2_resonance.txt

			defines the expected channel frequencies for readout
			lines 1 and 2. These options, together with 'positions'
			define the array geometry.
			@See: 'positions'

   mux			@Alias: 'correlated.mux'
			@Expert
			Estimate and remove correlated signals on SQUID MUXes
			@See: 'correlated.<?>'

   pols			@Alias: 'correlated.pols'
			Estimate and remove correlated signals on detectors
			with the same polarization angle.
			@Expert
			
   pol=angle		@Advanced
			Restrict the analysis for just one detector 
			polarization angle. Argument should be one of 0, 45,
			90, 135.

   positions=<path>	@Expert
			Specify the ASCII table containing the pixel position
			and polarization data. E.g.:

			  positions {@CRUSH}/mustang2/skyoff_Current.txt

			@See: 'frequencies.<n>', 'offset.<n>', 'rotation.<n>'

   readout=N		@Expert
			Restrict the reduction to readout line (ROACH) index N.
			
   sparse		Some shorter scans may not sample the image fully at
			the default pixelization (1.5" pixels). In such cases,
			use the sparse option to project the map onto a coarser
			grid. The option is really just a trigger for various
			settings spawned by it. E.g.

			  > crush mustang2 -sparse [...]

   SZ			Optimize reduction for the detection of Sunyaev-
			Zel'dovich signals (decrements). The SZ option is 
			really just a trigger condition for activating other
			settings. Check the configuration files under
			the gismo/ crush folder (esp. 'default.cfg) to see
			what this does exactly. E.g.

			  > crush mustang2 -sz [...]
