The CALTOOLS Sub-package
Latest changes to HEASoft & CALTOOLS/CALLIB
The CALTOOLS sub-package of FTOOLS contains
(mission independent) tasks relating to the creation and manipulation of
calibration files, including tasks to access the HEASARC Calibration
Database. Also check out the list of known CALTOOLS bugs,
limitations and planned enhancements.
General Calibration Utilities:
- ADDARF
- Adds two or more ancilliary response files (ARFs) with user-specified
weightings.
-
ADDRMF
- Adds two or more detector redistribution matrix files (RMFs) with
user-specified weightings.
-
CALCRPSF
- A multi-task wrapper for all RPSF-related tasks. A
User Guide (CAL/SW/93-011)
is also available.
-
DMPRMF
- Dumps a FITS RMF to screen, ASCII file or an image
[Now part of the
HEASPTOOLS
package as a wrapper to
FTDMPRMF]
-
GCORRMF
- Gain-corrects a detector redistribution matrix
[Now part of the
HEASPTOOLS
package as a wrapper to
FTGCORRMF]
-
MARFRMF
- Multiplies/Divides a detector redistribution matrix by an Ancillary
Response File
-
QUZCIF
- Queries a (CIF) Calibration Index File.
-
RBNRMF
- Compresses an RMF file in channel-space.
[Now part of the
HEASPTOOLS
package as a wrapper to
FTRBNRMF]
-
RBNRPSF
- Rebins an observations RPSF (Radial Point Spread Function) dataset
such that each new bin contains at least a user-defined number
of (source) counts.
Format Conversion Tasks:
-
CMPPHA
- Converts a Type II to a Type I PHA file
-
COL2IMG
- Dumps a Collimator Response dataset to an image
-
RPSF2EEF
- Converts a radial PSF (RPSF) dataset to a radial
encircled energy function (REEF) dataset.
-
RPSFQDP
- Dumps an (ASCII) QDP file from a RPSF (Radial Point Spread Function)
file
-
RSP2RMF
- Converts a (old-style) Standard Fortran (SF) response matrix to the new (FITS) format
[Now part of the
HEASPTOOLS
package as a wrapper to
FTCONVOLDRSP]
-
ST2RPSF
- Converts the o/p obtained by exporting a RPSF
(Radial Point Spread Function) dataset from IRAF
using the task stwfits to a FITS file in OGIP-standard RPSF format.
CALDB Maintenance Utilities
-
CALDBINFO
- Checks out and reports upon the status of the CALDB available to a user
-
CALDBFLAG
- Switches flag status of calibration files in a caldb.indx
-
CIFCADD
- Adds an extra column to a caldb.indx (CAL_ORIG, indicating site origin of cal file)
-
CRCIF
- Creates an empty (CIF) Calibration Index File.
-
CHKCIF
- Checks to ensure thart a Calibration Index File (CIF) is up-to-date
-
LSTGOOD
- Lists "good" files found in a CIF
-
MKCALDB
- Create a Calibration Database.
-
MKCALDIR
- Create the Caldb directory structure.
-
MKCALINIT
- Create a caldbinit file.
-
MUDCIF
- Enables Many Updates to a Caldb.Indx File
-
STCAL
- Stores one or more calibration files in the Caldb.
-
UDCIF
- Updates a CIF for a new calibration dataset.
Further information on the CALTOOLS tasks is available
from
CAL/SW/93-004.
