Parameters

This section documents the parameters recognized by this task (if any).

Parameter	Mand	Type	Default	Constraints
caldb	yes	string
Directory containing all the ESAS specific calibration files
dirfile	yes	string	mydir
File containing the list of exposures, including the directory string, for data to be merged. For instance, if the merging processing is being done in the directory /DATA/merge and the individual observations are located in the parallel directories /DATA/obs1/proc and /DATA/obs2/proc, the file dirlist could have entries such as: /DATA/obs1/proc/mos1S001 /DATA/obs1/proc/mos2S002 /DATA/obs1/proc/pnS003 /DATA/obs2/proc/mos1S001 /DATA/obs2/proc/mos2S002 /DATA/obs2/proc/pnS003
coord	yes	int	1
Selects which coordinate system should be used, 1: ecliptic, 2: equatorial, 3: galactic.
crvaln1	yes	real
Central longitude of the projection.
crvaln2	yes	real
Central latitude of the projection.
pixelsize	yes	real
Pixel size of the projection in decimal degrees.
component	yes	int	1
Component to be cast, 1: count image, 2: exposure, 3: QPB counts, 4: SP counts..
alpha	yes	real	1.7
Assumed spectral index for the filter correction scaling.
elow	yes	int	400
Energy low limit (in eV) for the band.
ehigh	yes	int	1250
Energy high limit (in eV) for the band.
maskcontrol	yes	int	1
Mask control, 0: no masking, 1: point source masking using the output from cheese, 2: good area masking using the masks produced by mos-spectra, 3: mask from merged source list output from make_mask_merge.
xdim	yes	int	2000
X dimension of the output image
ydim	yes	int	2000
Y dimension of the output image
pattern	no	int	4
pn pattern selection . 0: Single-pixel events only (PATTERN == 0), 4: Single- and double-pixel events (PATTERN <= 4).
clobber	no	boolean	yes	T/F
Clobber existing files?
