SRC2PHA (Jan95) ftools.rosat SRC2PHA (Jan95) NAME src2pha -- Creates a PHA file from specified extensions in an RDF src file USAGE src2pha infile outfile specext oahext DESCRIPTION Input is a ROSAT RDF *_src.fits file from a PSPC observation) and a choice of spectral and OAH extension numbers. Output is a PHA (spectral) file in the standard form for use with Xspec, pcarf, etc. NOTE: It is recommended that you use the EXTPHA driver script to call this ftool. Just type 'extpha' at your UNIX prompt and follow the instructions. PARAMETERS infile [file name] The input source file. outfile [file name] The output PHA file. specext [integer] The extension number for the extension containing spectral information. (Primary HDU is the 0th extension.) oahext [integer] The extension number for the extension containing the off axis histogram information. This will almost certainly be = specext+1. (Primary HDU is the 0th extension.) (chatter = 10) [integer] How much do you want to know. (0 dead silent: only fatal errors reported, 5 quiet,10 normal,15 high,>20 silly) (clobber = no) [boolean] Whether to overwrite an existing output file. EXAMPLES To extract a file wibble.pha from the 7th and 8th extensions of the wibble_src.fits file: ft>src2pha wibble_src.fits wibble.pha 7 8 KNOWN BUGS None.
