NAME

edsgcor -- Converts the PCA/EDS Gain & Offset file from ASCII to FITS format


USAGE

        edsgcor corfil date time

DESCRIPTION

This task converts the PCA/EDS Gain & Offset file provided by the PCA team from its native ASCII format to FITS format. In addition to the ascii file, the user also inputs the date and time at which the values take effect. The routine writes the appropriate OGIP Calibration Keywords into the header, and also copies into COMMENT keywords the entire header of the input file. The output file is given the name "edsgcor_<yymmdd>.fits". This task is intended for the sole use by the XTE SOC and/or PCA team.
