(qrmfcomm=yes/no) (qebdcomm=yes/no) (qoverride=yes/no)
[telescop =]missionname [instrume=]instname [filter=]filtname
[detnam=]detectname [clobber=yes/no]
DESCRIPTION
This should be a long-obsolete task. It converts old format response
matrices (as used in xspec versions prior to 8.2) to FITS format.
PARAMETERS
- infile [character string]
- The name of the old-style (SF) RSP file to be converted to
standard FITS format.
- outfile [character string]
- The name of the standard FITS file to be created
- (origin = 'UNKNOWN') [character string]
- The name of the organization and/or author running the task.
The default value is ORIGIN=UNKNOWN.
- (qregrp = no) [boolean]
- Logical as to whether the matrix read in from the RSP file is
to be truncated at a higher threshold, or simply written out
to the FITS file with the current threshold. The default is
QREGRP=N.
- threshold [real]
- New threshold at which the matrix is to be truncated (only
required if QREGRP=Y)
- (qcif = no) [boolean]
- Logical as to whether the CIF keywords are to be added to the
FITS file. The default is QCIF=N. NOTE: NO ALTERNATIVES ARE
CURRENTLY ALLOWED
- (rmfversn = '1.2.0') [charcter string]
- The OGIP FITS format version for response matrices in which
the o/p FITS is to be writen. The default is RMFVERSN=1.2.0
and is currently the only format allowed.
- (qrmfcomm = no) [boolean]
- Logical indicating whether comments are to be added to the RMF
extension from a previously prepared ASCII i/p file. The
default is QRMFCOMM=N. NOTE: NO ALTERNATIVES ARE CURRENTLY
ALLOWED
- (qebdcomm = no) [boolean]
- Logical indicating whether comments are to be added to the
EBOUNDS extension from a previously prepared ASCII i/p file.
The default is QEBDCOMM=N. NOTE: NO ALTERNATIVES ARE
CURRENTLY ALLOWED
- (qoverride= no) [boolean]
- Logical indicating whether the user wishes to override the
deconvolution of the mission and instrument strings derived
from the corresponding string supplied in the RSP file. This
is often necessary since the task only performs a rather crude
deconvolution itself and since the RSP file often contains
non-OGIP-standard strings, and/or insufficient information.
The default is QOVERRIDE=N
- telescop [character string]
- The user-supplied string for the telescope name, required if
QOVERRIDE=Y
- instrume [character string]
- The user-supplied string for the instrument name, required if
QOVERRIDE=Y
- detnam [character string]
- The user-supplied string for the sub-instrument name, required
if QOVERRIDE=Y. DETNAM=NONE should be used if the
specification of a sub-instrument is unneccessary.
- filter [character string]
- The user-supplied string for the name of any moveable filter
in use, required if QOVERRIDE=Y. FILTER=NONE should be used
if on such moveable filter is in use.
- (clobber = false) [boolean]
- Flag specifying whether or not a pre-existing file with the
same name as that requested as the output file from this task
will be overwritten.
