Changes in v2.1

  • The first 60 ASCA GIS channels are set to bad when saving spectra. In modes with compressed spectra the first 60/compression factor channels are set to bad.

  • The select chip command now successfully resets the data subspace keywords to take into account the removal of GTIs for the chips not selected.

  • Added support for the extractor ccol parameter. Also removed error if the GTI cannot be found because if data subspace keywords are in use we can find GTIs that way. Added the ccol argument to xselect.mdb to give the name of the column with the CCD ID for each event. This is used in dealing with multiple GTIs in Chandra and XMM-Newton files. Other missions can set this argument to 'NONE'.

  • Added support for passing the wmapver parameter to extractor.

  • Changes to xselect.mdb for Chandra to be consistent with CIAO v2 (WMAP in DETX/DETY and binned up by a factor of 8). Also switched default spectra from PHA to PI since that is what most people want to use.

  • Fixed error in xselect.mdb in the BeppoSAX TIMESYS setting. Spacecraft times are measured from 1/1/1994 not 1/1/1995.

  • Added parameter to the extract/bin command to pass the wmapver parameter to extractor.
