Meta Index / Home Page / Description
The steps to create the spectra, calculate the box areas and create the
ARF are quick but the creation of an RMF may take more
than half an hour to complete.
To shorten the execution time a canned matrix may be downloaded from
the SOC web-site and used in the processing by specifying parameters of the form:
withrmfset=yes rmfset=m1_r6_all_15.rmf
Advice on canned matrices is available from the SOC web-site or the
document XMM-SOC-PS-TN-0043
If withrmfset=yes and rmfset is not set then the task will
identify the name of the canned matrix which best suits the created
source spectrum and write this name into the RESPFILE keyword in the
header of the source spectrum (see 5.3).
