binning. yes=The binning scheme is defined by the user. | ||||
| binsize | no | Real | 1.0 | No constraints |
| The spectrum can be
rebinned either with a constant rebinning factor or as a
geometric series (to produce nearly equispaced bins in a logX
representation). The default value (1) is not to rebin the
spectrum. Values greater than 1 indicate a constant rebinning
factor (nearest integer of binsize). Geometric series rebinning
is obtained by entering a value less than -1, whose modulus
represents the step of the geometric series | ||||

list : /PS, /CPS, /VPS, /VCPS, /GIF , /VGIF, /XWINDOW, not case
