Hello,

When I tried to find the neon lamp solution using the following command
in the K-band driver file,

Wavelength.apply_interactive(maskname, band, waveops, \
apply=obsfiles, to='Ne.txt', neon=True)

I got very large MADs for 2 slit positions as followings:

slitno 8 STD: 0.00 MAD: 9999.00
slitno 16 STD: 0.00 MAD: 9999.00

So I looked at them using:

Wavelength.fit_lambda_interactively(maskname, band, 'Ne.txt', waveops)

and found that nothing was extracted for these 2 slit positions. Looking at
the stacked lamp image, I can see the neon lines are detected for these 2 slits.
One of the common things between slits #8 and #16 is that their spectra only
start from x >~ 500. Is it possible because of this their spectra weren't extracted?
