Ginga Specific Software: Program GINGA2XSP
Program ginga2xsp converts Ginga data cubes into
spectral files following the OGIP FITS conventions (Arnaud, George & Tennant 1995)
and these files can be used within the xspec spectral fitting
package, which is part of the XANADU suite of software.
A Ginga CUBE or spectral (PHAD) file.
A spectral file following the OGIP FITS conventions.
Ginga2xsp requires a variable number of input
parameters. The QX parameter system is used to read these
parameters.
| GNG_DATIN | The name of the input CUBE
or PHAD file. The maximum number of time bins is 2500. |
|
| | GNG_IDMX | The name of appropriate
response matrix (the default is $XADMX/low.idmx). |
|
| | GNG_BIN | If the number of time bins is
greater than one, then the user can choose to have an output spectral
file for each time bin or sum up to GNG_BIN contiguous non-zero
time bins into one spectrum. Note that any remaining time bins are
ignored and that ginga2xsp writes multiple datasets to one
output file. The output file has the same exposure time as the input
file. |
