\subsection{Flux calibration}
\label{sec:fcalib}
The FLOYDS spectra are flux calibrated using the {\em iraf} task
\emph{standard}, \emph{sensfunction} and \emph{calibrate}. The
standard frames are automatically identified from the coordinates and
compared with their tabulated values. The FLOYDS spectrograph
sensitivity functions have a specific shape in the second order with
two deep absorptions around 3800 \AA{} and 4400 \AA{} (see Fig.
\ref{fig:sensblue}). In order to reproduce this specific shape, the
FLOYDS pipeline computes the sensitivity function in two steps: a first
step with the full second order range (3000-6000 \AA{}) is fitted with
a low order function (usually 10-12), and a second step is focused on a
smaller window with a higher order in order to reproduce the two deep
absorptions. The two blue sensitivity functions are then merged into a single sensitivity function. Because of this, specific standards with a dense and
wide coverage of tabulated flux are required. The standard stars that are usually
used for FLOYDS are reported in Table \ref{tab:specphotstandards}.
The 2D frames (2df) after being flux and wavelength calibrated have
the following units: $10^{-20}$ erg\,cm$^{-2}$\,s$^{-1}$\,\AA$^{-1}$

\subsection{Checking wavelength calibration}
\label{sec:checkwave}
Both automatic and interactive reductions include a
check of the wavelength calibration using the sky lines or
telluric adsorptions. This is computed by cross-correlating the sky lines either
with a frame of sky lines observed in the past, or the telluric
adsorptions with a telluric model. These frames are stored in the
directory ``{\it standard}". If the check on the wavelength calibration
is performed on 1D frames, the third dimension of the file (produced
by the iraf task $apall$ is used. If the check is performed on 2D wavelength calibrated frames, a median along the spatial axis is used. During the interactive reduction some
plots are shown to the user for feedback. An example of these plots is
shown in Fig. \ref{fig:check}.
\subsection{Fringing correction}
\label{sec:fringing}
At the moment fringing correction is only applied to the red part of
the spectrum. A KEYWORD is added to the science frame if the fringing
correction is applied. Science frames with name starting with `{\it
n}' have been corrected for fringing. While reducing the data in
interactive mode, if the correction for fringing is poor, users may
try to use the option \emph{-- fringing 2} and check if this improves
the fringing correction. The KEYWORDs identifying the flat field used
to correct for fringing are reported below.
