radmonfix (radmonfix-0.5.2) [xmmsas_20190531_1155-18.0.0]


Description

The radmonfix task converts EPIC Radiation Monitor time tags (FTCOARSE and FTFINE) into UTC and MJD format. ERM data is generated per revolution and it is made of 2 fast and 2 slow mode files. Each mode has two different files; spectra and count rates files. radmonfix uses the SAS time correlation functionalities (OAL), to convert the FTCOARSE and FTFINE values into standard UTC time tags allowing the production of time series with a time reference frame.

The input parameter radmonfixlist is a list of ERM files for a single revolution. radmonfix appends to the original file three new columns that correspond to UTC time (in real and calendar) format and MJD format. If the option withoutputfile is set to yes, an extra file is created with the combination of all count and spectra radiation monitor files.
