Example

To create a corrected background spectrum, called outbkgspectrum.ds, from the source and background spectra, spectrum.ds and background.ds, the following example can be used.

backcorr srcspectrumset="spectrum.ds" bkgspectrumset="background.ds"
outbkgspectrumset="outbkgspectrum.ds"

Alternatively, to create a corrected background spectrum using the position in detector co-ordinates, the following could be used:

backcorr srcspectrumset="spec1.ds" bkgspectrumset="back1.ds" 
outbkgspectrumset="outbkgspectrum.ds" withsourcepos=yes
sourcecoords="det" sourcex=-3917.0 sourcey=-3308.5 bkgdx=-2141.5 bkgdy=-2973.5
