DISCUSSION

This module sets up the two input files for the APEX QA Single Frame pipeline. If you run APEX QA and find that some sources were not subtracted in the final image, check whether the Select module was run in the APEX (User List) Single Frame pipeline. It is possible that some extracted sources were thrown out by the Select condition. In this case you may choose to use extract_raw.tbl as the Extract Table.
