Ginga Specific Software: Program GROUP



Purpose

Program group allows the user to specify the ranges and binning of pulse height data to be used in spectral fitting. The ranges of data channels and binning within the ranges are specified in data file channels not intrinsic instrument channels. The data in the file are not rebinned but the ranges etc. specified are saved as data objects in the file and used by the spectral fitting programme spf.


Input File

A Ginga spectral (PHAD) file.


Input Parameters

Group requires six input parameters. The QX parameter system is used to read these parameters.

SPF_PFILE The name of the input PHAD file.
SPF_RE_GROUP If the file is grouped, then the user is prompted to re-group the data.
SPF_NRAN The number of ranges or windows to be used.
SPF_ILO(SPF_NRAN) Lower spectral channel contributing to range SPF_NRAN.
SPF_IHI(SPF_NRAN) Upper spectral channel contributing to range SPF_NRAN.
SPF_IBIN(SPF_NRAN) Bin size within range SPF_NRAN.
SPF_GDUMP If YES then the re-binned data is dump into the PHAD file.
