Ginga Specific Software: Program FOLD_MULTI
Program fold_multi folds up to 50 time series on a single
period. The output file contains only the folded light
curve. Fold_multi folds data after taking into account the time
delay to the heliocentric frame of reference (generated using the
program helio), although this is not
necessary.
The output file has the same root name as the first input file, but
takes the extension ".fld". The results may be displayed
using the qcl procedure
pl_fold.qcl or extracted using the program ginga fold.
A Ginga data CUBE or TIME series.
A HDS file containing the folded light curve (it may also contain
unfolded HK parameters).
Fold_multi requires a variable number of input
parameters. The QX parameter system is used to read these
parameters.
| FLD_NCUBE |
The number of the input data files. |
| |
|
| FLD_CUBE(FLD_NCUBE) |
The name(s) of the input data cube(s) or time series. |
| |
|
| FLD_IPHA(FLD_NCUBE) |
The pulse height channel(s) to be folded. |
| |
|
| FLD_IDENT(FLD_NCUBE) |
The ident channel(s) to be folded. |
| |
|
| FLD_EPOCH |
The epoch at which the folding is to begin. |
| |
|
| FLD_BINS |
The number of phase bins that the light curve will be folded
into. |
| |
|
| FLD_TCORR |
The program prompts the user regarding the time delay to the
heliocentric frame of reference (the default is to correct the light
curves). |
Fold_multi returns one output parameter. The QX parameter
system is used to display this parameter.
| FLD_RESULT |
The name of the output folded data cube or time series. |
