DESI_SPECTRO_SIM
================

:envvar:`DESI_SPECTRO_SIM` contains simulated raw data, with the canonical location
of ``$DESI_ROOT/spectro/sim``.  Simulated files are additionally grouped under
a $PIXPROD subdirectory to isolate different simulation runs.

The intention is that $DESI_SPECTRO_SIM/$PIXPROD will contain a superset of
the files in $DESI_SPECTRO_DATA, such that one could set
DESI_SPECTRO_DATA=$DESI_SPECTRO_SIM/$PIXPROD and run the pipeline.
The simulator does not yet output truly raw data (only preprocessed data)
so this is not yet possible.
