Data Manipulation

The previous sections describes how to obtain a cleaned, background subtracted and attitude corrected data cube. However, most scientific analysis involves either fitting models to pulse height spectra or studying light curves. Spectral files and time series can be created from data cubes using either the program hyper or select. These programs were briefly mentioned in sections 2.6 and 2.8; the following sections give further details of these programs.
