The CALTOOLS Sub-package

Latest changes to HEASoft & CALTOOLS/CALLIB

The CALTOOLS sub-package of FTOOLS contains (mission independent) tasks relating to the creation and manipulation of calibration files, including tasks to access the HEASARC Calibration Database. Also check out the list of known CALTOOLS bugs, limitations and planned enhancements.

ADDARF

Adds two or more ancilliary response files (ARFs) with user-specified weightings.

ADDRMF

Adds two or more detector redistribution matrix files (RMFs) with user-specified weightings.

CALCRPSF

A multi-task wrapper for all RPSF-related tasks. A User Guide (CAL/SW/93-011) is also available.

DMPRMF

Dumps a FITS RMF to screen, ASCII file or an image [Now part of the HEASPTOOLS package as a wrapper to FTDMPRMF]

GCORRMF

Gain-corrects a detector redistribution matrix [Now part of the HEASPTOOLS package as a wrapper to FTGCORRMF]

MARFRMF

Multiplies/Divides a detector redistribution matrix by an Ancillary Response File

QUZCIF

Queries a (CIF) Calibration Index File.

RBNRMF

Compresses an RMF file in channel-space. [Now part of the HEASPTOOLS package as a wrapper to FTRBNRMF]

RBNRPSF

Rebins an observations RPSF (Radial Point Spread Function) dataset such that each new bin contains at least a user-defined number of (source) counts.

CMPPHA

Converts a Type II to a Type I PHA file

COL2IMG

Dumps a Collimator Response dataset to an image

RPSF2EEF

Converts a radial PSF (RPSF) dataset to a radial encircled energy function (REEF) dataset.

RPSFQDP

Dumps an (ASCII) QDP file from a RPSF (Radial Point Spread Function) file

RSP2RMF

Converts a (old-style) Standard Fortran (SF) response matrix to the new (FITS) format [Now part of the HEASPTOOLS package as a wrapper to FTCONVOLDRSP]

ST2RPSF

Converts the o/p obtained by exporting a RPSF (Radial Point Spread Function) dataset from IRAF using the task stwfits to a FITS file in OGIP-standard RPSF format.

CALDBINFO

Checks out and reports upon the status of the CALDB available to a user

CALDBFLAG

Switches flag status of calibration files in a caldb.indx

CIFCADD

Adds an extra column to a caldb.indx (CAL_ORIG, indicating site origin of cal file)

CRCIF

Creates an empty (CIF) Calibration Index File.

CHKCIF

Checks to ensure thart a Calibration Index File (CIF) is up-to-date

LSTGOOD

Lists "good" files found in a CIF

MKCALDB

Create a Calibration Database.

MKCALDIR

Create the Caldb directory structure.

MKCALINIT

Create a caldbinit file.

MUDCIF

Enables Many Updates to a Caldb.Indx File

STCAL

Stores one or more calibration files in the Caldb.

UDCIF

Updates a CIF for a new calibration dataset.
