MAXI specific

mxauxlist - Make an FITS list files for ISS attitude, solar panel angles, and GSC housekeeping files
mxdownload_wget - Search and retrieve the archived MAXI data for a given sky position and time interval
mxevtfilter - Separate event files by voltages, source and background regions, and generate a master event file. Also make image files.
mxevtgti - Generate GTI from event files by looking for long gaps in the events
mxgrmfgen - Generate the response matrix file for GSC instrument
mxgtiwmap - Calculate a weighted spatial distribution of events on the detector
mxlcraw - Combine scan condition information with total raw counts in the source and background regions for each energy band, and compute (or record values from other tools) a variety of correction factors
mxlcurve - Apply all correction factors necessary and generate scan level and time binned light curves. Also compute matching hard ratios versus time
mxpha - Generate spectra for source and background from the event files
mxpipeline - Generate the high level products (images lightcurves spectra and response) for both instruments
mxpsfcorr - Compute the point spread function correction factor based on the simulated PSF events
mxregion - Make ds9-compatible region files to define source and/or background sky regions, excluding potentially confusing sources if present
mxscancond - Generate scan condition flags for each GTI interval and camera, tracking whether the source and background are observed, blocked by spacecraft or solar panels, and compute peak visibility times.
mxscancur - Determine the source position relative to the GSC or SSC instrument
mxsim_bgd - Compute modeled background from both cosmic and non-X-ray sources (including the Soyuz capsule when docked at the ISS)
mxsim_psf - Simulate observed events based on the point spread function for each individual camera scan
mxsrmfgen - Generate the response matrix file for SSC instrument
mxtilelist - Make an ASCII list of all the HEALPixels within a radius of a sky location
mxversion - Print the MAXI software package version

Multimission used by MAXI

hpextract - Extract source event from multiple HEALPix event files.
