Ginga Specific Software: Program ATT_INSERT
Program att_insert inserts the high-energy transmission
efficiency information into Ginga data files but does
not perform the attitude correction (for use with extended,
confused sources etc.). Thus, att_insert is functionally
similar to attcorr but without the
crucial divide statement. Currently the following data types can be
handled:
- 48 spectral channel MPC1 and MPC2 cubes
- 12 spectral channel MPC3 cubes
- TIME series
Att_insert uses collimator transmission data derived from Crab
Scan data by the Japanese. The output file contains a new object,
TRANSMISSION, which represents the high-energy
transmission. Collimator reflection can be corrected for if necessary
in the first two cases. The transmission data may not be sufficiently
accurate to produce adequately corrected spectral files from a
CUBE. It should be checked using an uncorrected file and the ad
hoc spectral fitting reflection correction (see gcs@star.le.ac.uk for
details).
A Ginga CUBE or TIME series.
A Ginga CUBE or TIME series with the transmission
information inserted.
Att_insert requires four input parameters. The QX parameter
system is used to read these parameters.
| ATT_DATIN |
The name of the input file. |
| |
|
| ATT_DATOUT |
The name of the output file created, containing the high-energy
transmission information. |
| |
|
| ATT_TR_FILE |
The name of the file containing collimator transmission data (the
default is $XACAL/trans.dat) |
| |
|
| ATT_DO_REF |
Apply collimator reflection correction (the default is
No). |
