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
