Initialisation

• Set state of internal RMF data server. Various actions include:
  1. Setting the CAL state to the default CCD chip and mode (Full Frame) for the instrument in question.

  2. Open input counts spectrum file and determine channel range in o/p matrix from the TLMIN and TLMAX attributes for the channel column.

  3. Use the spatial region information and selected detector map to calculate average redistribution parameters.

  4. If pile-up is requested, read input event file.

• Create output file
