| input.gain | string | | | Name of an optional data cube containing the gain across the image. If specified, the input data cube will be divided by the gain cube prior to source parameterisation to ensure that the correct flux values are extracted. The gain cube must have the same dimensions as the input data cube. The absolute path to the gain file must be provided. If only the file name is specified, the pipeline will assume the file to be located in the current working directory. Currently, only the FITS format is supported. |
| input.invert | bool | true, false | false | If set to `true`, invert the data cube prior to processing. This is useful when searching for negative rather than positive signals such as absorption lines. Note that all flux-related parameters and maps will be inverted, too, in this case and hence be positive rather than negative. |
| input.mask | string | | | File name of an input mask cube. Any additional pixels detected by the source finder will be added to the input mask. This can be useful if the results from two different source finding runs should be combined into a single mask. The mask cube must have the same dimensions as the input data cube. The absolute path to the mask file must be provided. If only the file name is specified, the pipeline will assume the file to be located in the current working directory. Currently, only the FITS format is supported. |
| input.noise | string | | | Name of an optional data cube containing the noise levels across the image. If specified, the input data cube will be divided by the noise cube prior to source finding to ensure that a constant source finding threshold can be applied. The noise cube must have the same dimensions as the input data cube. The absolute path to the noise file must be provided. If only the file name is specified, the pipeline will assume the file to be located in the current working directory. Currently, only the FITS format is supported. Note that either a noise cube or a weights cube can be applied, but not both. |

If only the file name is specified, the pipeline will assume the file to be located in the current working directory. Currently, only the FITS format is supported. Note that either a noise cube, a weights cube or a primary beam cube should be applied, but not more than one of these. |
| input.primaryBeam | string | | | Name of an optional data cube containing the primary beam response. If specified, the input data cube will be multiplied by the primary beam cube prior to source finding to ensure that a constant source finding threshold can be applied. The primary beam cube must have the same dimensions as the input data cube. The absolute path to the primary beam file must be provided. If only the file name is specified, the pipeline will assume the file to be located in the current working directory. Currently, only the FITS format is supported. Note that either a noise cube, a weights cube or a primary beam cube should be applied, but not more than one of these. |
| input.region | list | | | Region of the input data cube to be searched. Only the specified region will be loaded into memory and processed. A region must contain six comma-separated integer values of the following format: `x_min`, `x_max`, `y_min`, `y_max`, `z_min`, `z_max` (all in units of pixels and 0-based). If no region is specified, then the entire data cube will be loaded. |
| input.weights | string | | | Name of an optional data cube containing the weights across the image. If specified, the input data cube will be multiplied by the square root of the weights cube prior to source finding to ensure that a constant source finding threshold can be applied. The weights cube must have the same dimensions as the input data cube. The absolute path to the weights file must be provided. If only the file name is specified, the pipeline will assume the file to be located in the current working directory. Currently, only the FITS format is supported. Note that either a noise cube or a weights cube can be applied, but not both. |
