Other features
In addition to the columns described above - namely, Time, SpecDet0-SpecDet3, TimSerCnt, ClstrPosition - Archive mode files also contain the following:
- IDFNo
- the Instrument Data Frame Number at the end of each 16-second accumulation.
- GoodCnt
- the total accumulated "good" counts, i.e. the NaI-only events that survive background rejection and pass through the pulse-height and pulse-shape discriminators. For each 16-s accumulation, the value in GoodCnt equals the sum of the all the values in the SpecDet0-SpecDet3 columns and equals the sum of the all the values in the TimSerCnt column.
- LiveTimeDet0-3
- HEXTE was designed to monitor dead time continuously. The LiveTimeDet0-LiveTimeDet3 columns are read by the deadtime correction tools hxtdeadpha and hxtdeadlc.
