NAME
uvotrmfgen - create a UVOT grism response matrix
USAGE
uvotrmfgen spectrum=<filename> areafile=<filename>
outfile=<filename>
DESCRIPTION
This tool creates a UVOT response matrix given an input spectrum and effective area file. The output response matrix is OGIP compliant and appropriate for use with XSpec.
PARAMETERS
- spectrum [filename]
- Wavelength scale extension (of uvotimgrism output).
- (areafile=CALDB) [string]
- Effective area calibration file.
- (lsffile = CALDB) [string]
- Line Spread Function calibration file.
- outfile [filename]
- UVOT redistribution matrix (RMF) file.
- (chatter = 1) [enumerated integer]
- Standard HEAdas chatter parameter.
A range of 0 to 5 is enforced by the
min and max fields in the parameter file.
- (clobber = no) [boolean]
- Standard HEAdas clobber parameter.
EXAMPLES
The following example illustrates running uvotrmfgen
1. run uvotrmfgen specifying spectrum and output files on the command line
uvotrmfgen spectrum=uvotimgrism.pha outfile=rmf.fits
