NAME
mkintensfilt - Makes a GTI containing times when the RATE in the input
light curve file lies within the requested range.
USAGE
mkintensfilt infile rateselection outfile clobber
DESCRIPTION
This tool reads a FITS light curve from infile and writes a FITS GTI
to outfile. The GTI specifies the times for which the RATE column in
the light curve file lies within the range(s) requested in the
rateselection parameter.
Hidden parameters are available to change the names of the extensions
containing the rate and gti data and the columns containing the time
and rate data in the input file.
PARAMETERS
- infile [filename]
- The name of the input light curve file.
- rateselection [string]
- The rate ranges to be selected. Low and high levels for a range
should be separated by a dash and separate ranges by a
comma. e.g. "0.0-0.5,1.0-1.5". If there are multiple ranges then
the parameter value must be enclosed by double quotes.
- outfile [filename]
- The name of the output file. This will contain an extension with HDUNAME="GTI".
- rateExtension [string]
- The name of the extension with rate data in the input file.
- timeColumn [string]
- The name of the column with time data in the input file.
- rateColumn [string]
- The name of the column with rate data in the input file.
- gtiExtension [string]
- The name of the extension with gti data in the input file.
- clobber [bool]
- If clobber = yes then overwrite the output file if a file of this
name already exists.
