Basic modules of the eMPT.

Module Function
ipa Find the MSA pointings within a user-defined search box that capture the maximum number of highest priority targets
k_make For each optimal pointing identify all targets of all priority classes that fall within viable slitlets on the MSA (the raw k_list)
k_clean Purge the candidate list at each pointing of targets contaminated by nearby catalog entries
m_make Identify the optimal subset of targets whose spectra fit on the detector without overlap for each pointing (the filtered m_list)
m_sort Rank the pointings and matching target sets according to a user-defined figure of merit
m_pick Generate the information needed to import the highest ranking MSA mask and pointing combination into the APT
m_check Create further diagnostic files and plots for the chosen solution
