Research direction

Find the BifrostWorkflow definition in the essspectroscopy code and read how it currently handles wavelength lookup tables. Add the wavelength_from argument so it selects either on-the-fly analytical LUT computation or loading the LUT from a file; done means both modes are selectable through the workflow.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

essspectroscopy

The arg is used to determine if wavelength should be computed using a on-the-fly computed LUT ('analytical' mode) or read the LUT from a file ('file' mode).
