Parameters

This section documents the parameters recognized by this task (if any).

Parameter	Mand	Type	Default	Constraints
Event List Parameters
image	no	string	NULL	valid file name
A name of a fits file that was generated from xmmselect/evselect. No image is used if NULL.
useodf	no	boolean	no	yes$\mid$no
A boolean switch determining whether the procedure uses ODF.
region	no	string	(DETX, DETY) IN circle(0, 0, 2000)	valid region specification
region specification that indicates the coordinats type and region type and size. region can overwrite information supplied in image.
ccdnr	no	int		valid CCD number
CCD number for interested area. Only useful for RAWX/RAWY coordinates. If ccdnr $>0$ specified, it will overwrite the information from image. If CCD number can not be detected by image, default to 1.
node	no	string	PRIMARY	valid node value
CCD readout node: PRIMARY, REDUNDANT
cammode	no	string	PrimeFullWindow	valid camera mode value
Camera mode. See Xmm.h for details
filter	no	string	Open
Filter option. See Xmm.h for details
ccdtemp	no	real	120.0
CCD temperature (K)
camtemp	no	real	120.0
Camera temperature (K)
temptrack	no	boolean	no	yes$\mid$no
Dis/enable retrieving temperature from HK data
starttime	no	time	1999-12-10T14:32:00.000	valid time specification
Observation start time. If image is given, the start time is specified in the image file unless duration$>0$.
duration	no	real
Observation duration in seconds. If duration is 0 and image is given, both starttime and duration are specified by the information in the image file. If duration is 0 but image is not given, default to 3000.
level	no	string	MEDIUM	valid arccuracy level value
Accuracy level: LOW, MEDIUM, EXTENDED, HIGH, ELLBETA
parameter	no	int
Auxiliary parameter, always 0. Used in the future
random	no	boolean	yes	yes$\mid$no
En/disable randomize.
binning	no	int		valid binning value
On-chip-binning factor. Only works for certain camera mode
ccf	no	boolean	NULL
CCF file path and name. NULL if not specify CCF file.
ccflog	no	boolean	no	yes$\mid$no
Print CCF Access Log information to standard error.
coortype	no	string	XY	valid coordinate value
Coordinate Type: XY, DET, RAW
energy	no	real list	3000.0	$\left[ 100:150000\right]$
Energy value list. Note that there is a minimum-maximum range
weight	no	real list	1.0
Energy weighting to construct summation PSF
theta	no	real	-1	$\left[ -1:1800\right]$
Off-axis angle in arcsec. Note that there is a minimum-maximum range. theta$<0$ means it is decided by region or image. If it can not be decided, default to 0.
phi	no	real	-1	$\left[ -1^o:360^o\right)$
Azimuth angle. (theta/phi) are given in the TELCOORD refernce system indicating location of the PSF center. phi$<0$ means it is decided by region or image. If it can not be decided, default to 0.
rotate	no	real	-1	$\left( -1^o:360^o\right)$
Rotation angle of the PSF (PA). When rotate$=-1$, the PA value is decided by image. If image is not given or $-1<$ rotate$<0$, rotation angle is not used. A warning will be displayed.
xsize	no	int		$\left[ 0:1024\right]$
PSF width in pixels, 0 means decided by the image or region. If can not be decided, default to 199.
ysize	no	int		$\left[ 0:1024\right]$
PSF height in pixels, 0 means decided by the image or region. If can not be decided, default to 199.
output	no	string	NULL	valid file name
File name of the PSF image. NULL means no output, only display the theta, phi, rotation, xsize and ysize.
