Ginga Specific Software: Program HYPER



Purpose

Program hyper rebins selected range of elements of any Ginga CUBE, TIME series or spectral file (PHAD) along any one of its dimensions. It can therefore be used to:

  1. Rebin TIME series or PHAD data
  2. Sum detector ident channels
  3. Create PHAD files for selected time periods (from a CUBE)
  4. Create TIME series in two or more specified PHAD ranges, for spectral variability studies etc.


Input File

A Ginga CUBE, TIME series or PHAD file.


Output File

Depending on HYP_OPTION (see below), a Ginga CUBE, TIME series or PHAD file.


Input Parameters

Hyper requires a variable number of input parameters. The QX parameter system is used to read these parameters.

HYP_DATIN The name of the input data CUBE, TIME series or PHAD.
HYP_DATOUT The name of the output data CUBE, TIME series or PHAD.
HYP_OPTION Option: TIME, PHA or IDENT dimension for compression.

If HYP_OPTION=TIME

  • HYP_TMIN new start time.
  • HYP_TMAX new end time.
  • HYP_TBIN new time bin size.

If HYP_OPTION=PHA
  • HYP_NPHOUT number of output spectral channels.
  • HYP_PHR(HYP_NPHOUT) range of input spectral channels required (e.g. 1-12); only contiguous ranges permitted.

If HYP_OPTION=IDENT
  • HYP_NCHOUT number of output ident chans.
  • HYP_COMB(HYP_NCHOUT) channel combination (e.g. 1-4 or 1, 2, 3, 4); any selection of input channel or output channels permitted.
    Note: EVEN*8 translates to 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16; ODD*8 translates to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15.
