DESCRIPTION
FTDMPRMF displays the contents of an OGIP standard RMF file
(containing the detector response matrix) to the terminal or to a
text file, if the user enters an output filename. The EBOUNDS and
SPECRESP extensions can be displayed with user-defined channel or energy
ranges, respectively. In addition the response matrix can be written
as an image in FITS format, if the user enters an image filename.
PARAMETERS
- infile [filename]
- The name of the input FITS RMF file.
- ebdfile [string]
- The name of the input FITS file with the EBOUNDS extension. If "%"
then use infile.
- dispebd [bool]
- Display the EBOUNDS data.
- disprmf [bool]
- Display the SPECRESP data.
- disphd [bool]
- Display the full header information for EBOUNDS and SPECRESP, if selected.
- primary [bool]
- Display the primary header.
- dispmat [bool]
- Display the full matrix.
- outfile [filename]
- The name of the output text file. For no output file enter "none",
"NONE", or " ".
- ebdchan [string]
- The EBOUNDS channels to be displayed. Should either be a range
e.g. 1-5 or the string All.
- rmfener [string]
- The SPECRESP energies to be displayed. Should either be a range
e.g. 1-5 or the string All.
- imagefile [filename]
- The output FITS filename for an image of the response. For no
output image file enter "none", "NONE", or " ".
- page [bool]
- Pipe the output to more.
- clobber [bool]
- If clobber = yes then overwrite the output files if a file of the
appropriate name already exists.
EXAMPLES
Using ftdmprmf to "uncompress" a MEG response matrix (which is very sparse and stored in the compressed RMF format) to an uncompressed image of the entire matrix. The output fits image is called rmf.fits.
% ftdmprmf imagefile = rmf.fits clobber=yes
Please enter RMF filename[] acis_meg_p1.rmf
Do you want to display EBOUNDS data?[no] no
Do you want to display RMF data?[yes] yes
Do you want Full header info?[no] no
Do you want to display full matrix?[yes] yes
Please enter output filename[rmf.txt] rmf.txt
Enter SPECRESP energies to be displayed (e.g. 1-5)[All] All
The input (compressed) RMF is 19MB, while the image of the uncompressed RMF is 256MB
