PCFILT (Oct94) ftools.rosat PCFILT (Oct94) NAME pcfilt -- creates a ROSAT PSPC makefilter file dataset USAGE pcfilt infile outfile DESCRIPTION This task creates a ROSAT PSPC makefilter file. The task is essentially an FTOOLized version of Steve Snowden's GEOMETRY code and provides data similar to the TREND data files, except on an observation rather than ROSAT day basis. PCFILT sorts through the orbit, attitude, event rate, status, and housekeeping data to produce a time-ordered list of diagnostic information which can be used to screen data. Examples are the master veto count rate or observation zenith angle. WARNINGS ON USAGE PARAMETERS infile [character string] The name of the RDF format ancillary FITS file. outfile [character string] The name of the output file. (chatter=9) [Integer] Flag to indicate how chatty the task is at execution. A value of 9 is the default, with lower/higher values producing quieter/verbose output respectively.
