XSELECT HELP XSELECT is an interactive program to examine input event files, filter these to include events of interest then create data products for further analysis. It performs many of these functions by running individual tasks from the FTOOLS suite. Version 2.2 and later also use tasks from CIAO and SAS. To start the program simply type xselect.
