This routine runs xselect on the unfiltered event files
to produce the filtered event files.
The following screening criteria are applied:
Filtering Criteria for Both Instruments:
- SAA==0 (not in South Atlantic Anomaly)
- ELV > 10 (sufficiently far from limb of Earth)
- ACS==0 (Attitude control in fine guidance mode)
- ANG_DIST > 0 && ANG_DIST < 0.01
(Angular distance from the nominal pointing is
below threshold)
Additional SIS Filtering Criteria:
- COR > 6 (Rigidity of Earth's magnetic field high
enough to shield the instruments from particles)
- FOV==0 (Telescope is pointing at the sky)
- BR_EARTH > 20 (far enough from the limb of the bright
Earth so that light leaks will not affect the CCDs)
- Sn_SATFm != 1 (Telemetry is not saturated )
- T_DY_NT <0 || T_DY_NT > 16 per CCD
(The time since the last day-night transition
above threshold)
- T_SAA < 0 || T_SAA > 16 per CCD (The time
since the last exit from the
South Atlantic Anomaly
above threshold)
- Sn_PIXLm is within 3 of its mean value.
The details of this screening criterion are described in
$UTIL/pixl_criteria.
- Only grade 0, 2, 3, and 4 events are extracted.
- The data are cleaned with sisclean which removes hot and
flickering pixels.
Additional GIS Cleaning Criteria:
- COR>4 (Rigidity of Earth's magnetic field high enough
to shield the instruments from particles)
- G2_H0+G2_H2+G3_H0+G3_H2 < 45
- G2_H0+G2_H2+G3_H0+G3_H2 < 0.45*COR**2-13*COR+125
- RBM_CONT < 100
- Gn_L1 > 0 (The L1 count rate is above zero)
- A region filter is applied to GIS data to filter
out the noisy edges of the detectors and the calibration
source.
- The data are cleaned with gisclean which applies a
PI - RTI rejection criterion
Note that the exact screening criteria applied to each event
file are recorded in the processing log.
