USAGE

DESCRIPTION

This tool determines the scan history of a source for each GSC detector that views the source.

PARAMETERS

scanflist [filename]

This file (or list of files) tells time-history of the source position relative to each camera. It is the output file from the tool mxscancur. List files are given as "@scan_list.txt", where scan_list.txt is an ascii file in which each row contains the name of a file.

outfname [filename]

Output filename for mxgscandat. This file contains the scan history of the source by each GSC detector exposed to the source.

pibandfname [filename]

Ascii file which which contains the lower and upper channel of each PI band. The default contents of this file are as follows: 40 119 120 239

evtflist [filename]

Name of source event file, or the name of a file containing a list of names of source event files. Text list files are given as "@event_list.txt", where event_list.txt is an ascii file in which each row contains the name of an event file.

bevtflist [filename]

Name of background event file, or the name of a file containing a list of names of background event files. Text list files are given as "@event_list.txt", where event_list.txt is an ascii file in which each row contains the name of an event file.

srcregfile=NONE [filename]

Source region file name. This is an optional parameter that is used to determine the value of bgdscale if it is not provided.

bgdregfile=NONE [filename]

Background region file name. This is an optional parameter that is used to determine the value of bgdscale if it is not provided.

bgdscale [double]

Background region / source region scale factor. -1.0 is specified for a LC type background.

mjd_start [double]

Start time of observation in MJD.

mjd_stop [double]

Stop time of observation in MJD.

phindx [double]

This is the spectral index of the events assuming a powerlaw spectrum.

nh [double]

This is the hydrogen column density (10^22 cm^-2) in the direction of the observation.

src_dcolphi_max [double]

Maximum allowed difference in phi between event position and source region (degree)

src_dcoltha_max [double]

Maximum allowed difference in theta between event position and source region (degree)

bgd_dcoltha_min [double]

Minimum allowed difference in theta between event position and background region (degree)

bgd_dcoltha_max [double]

Maximum allowed difference in theta between event position and background region (degree)

evt_colphi_max [double]

Maximum allowed value of phi for an event (degree)

dlpath [boolean]

Data downlink path (0: Low, 1: Med)

effcalc [boolean]

Determine the transmission efficiency correction for the data? (0: No, 1: Yes)

gtifile0 [filename]

Name of the camera 0 GTI fits file.

gtifile1 [filename]

Name of the camera 1 GTI fits file.

gtifile2 [filename]

Name of the camera 2 GTI fits file.

gtifile3 [filename]

Name of the camera 3 GTI fits file.

gtifile4 [filename]

Name of the camera 4 GTI fits file.

gtifile5 [filename]

Name of the camera 5 GTI fits file.

gtifile6 [filename]

Name of the camera 6 GTI fits file.

gtifile7 [filename]

Name of the camera 7 GTI fits file.

gtifile8 [filename]

Name of the camera 8 GTI fits file.

gtifile9 [filename]

Name of the camera 9 GTI fits file.

gtifile10 [filename]

Name of the camera A GTI fits file.

gtifile11 [filename]

Name of the camera B GTI fits file.

(leapsecfile = CALDB [filename])

Name of the leapsecond calibration file. Used to apply leapsecond correction to mission time.

(ldparm = CALDB [filename])

List of LD parameter correction tables.

(hvbithist = CALDB [filename])

List of HVBIT history files (or CALDB)

(mfptabbe = CALDB [filename])

Table which contains the mean free path through beryllium at different energies.

(mfptabxe = CALDB [filename])

Table which contains the mean free path through xeon at different energies.

(ssdockinfo = CALDB [filename])

Table which contains the space shuttle docking dates.

(clobber = no) [boolean]

Overwrites the existing output file if set to yes (yes/[no]).

(chatter = 1) [integer]

Chatter level for output. Set to 0 to suppress output, or to 1, 2, or 3 for increasing the chatter of the output.

(history = yes) [boolean]

Records tool parameters in HISTORY ([yes]/no).

(mode = ql) [string ql|hl|q]

Mode to query the parameter file. Acceptable values include: "ql (query and learn/remember), "hl" (hidden and learn/remember), "q" (query but don't remember), "h" (hidden).(Optional)
