NAME

USAGE

DESCRIPTION

The hxisgdmerge task clones 'infile1' to 'outfile' and then appends the rows from 'infile2' to the end of the new table. This is a very specialized task that only operates on the raw (SFF) event files from HXI or SGD, which cannot be merged using ftmerge since they contain data in variable-length array columns. The hxisgdmerge task does not work on other event files, including HXI and SGD event files that have been processed using hxievtid or sgdevtid.

PARAMETERS

infile1 [filename]

First input second FITS file (SFF) from HXI or SGD to be merged.

infile1 [filename]

Second input SFF from HXI or SGD to be merged.

outfile [filename]

Output file in SFF format.

(buffer = -1) [integer -1|0|N]

Rows to buffer (-1=auto, 0=none, N>0=numrows).

(clobber = no) [boolean yes |no]

Overwrites the existing output file if set to yes.

(chatter = 1) [integer 0|1|2|3]

Chatter level for output. Set to 0 to suppress output, or to 1, 2, or 3 for increasing the chatter of the output.

(logfile = !DEFAULT) [string DEFAULT|NONE|file name]

Log file name. If set to DEFAULT, uses the name of the task and, if preceded by "!", overwrites the file if it exists. If set to NONE, no log file is created.

(debug = no) [boolean yes|no]

Diagnostic output is printed to the screen if set to yes.

(history = yes) [boolean yes|no]

Records tool parameters in HISTORY.

EXAMPLES

1. Merge two files.

   hxisgdmerge infile1=sgd_sff_slew.fits infile2=sgd_sff_pnt.fits outfile=sgd_sff_out.fits
