TABLE  SpecFrame

Details of individual specFrames.

The specFrame table lists details of individual specFrames present
in the survey. A specFrame contains a set of spectra extracted from
a single twoDFrame. Thus usually there is a 1:1 relation between
specFrames and twoDFrames. However, it is possible for several
reasons (e.g. a 2d bias or other calibration frame), to have a twoDFrame for which there is no
corresponding specFrame. A specFrame, however, must necessarily have
a corresponding twoDFrame from which it has been created. The distinction between
a specFrame and its source twoDFrame is that the latter is the spectrograph image
prior to spectral extraction (so may contain curved orders with spectra spread over
more than one column, and the pixel counts will be source plus sky) while a specFrame
is the result of pipeline spectral extraction run on the twoDFrame, and will contain
individual extracted spectra (or echelle orders) in the individual lines (think IRAF
multispec format).
