flagbadpixels=Y but missing/invalid bad pixels extension
in events file. Option is ignored
corrective action: run badpix on input event file | ||

splitdiagonals=Y or rejectbade3=Y
but data not in Imaging mode. Option is ignored
corrective action: none | ||
getParamValues17 | warning | |
analysepatterns=Y, flagbadpixels=Y,
splitdiagonals=Y or othereventset is set
but the input file already went through emevents.
Option is ignored
corrective action: restart from the output of emframes and badpix if you wish to reapply EV_REC, CUT_BAD, DIAGO or BINODAL | ||
getParamValues18 | warning | |
randomizetime=Y but data in Timing mode.
Option is ignored
corrective action: none | ||
getParamValues19 | warning | |
analysepatterns=Y, flagbadpixels=Y or
flagtruncatede1=Y but data in Compressed Timing mode.
Option is ignored
corrective action: none | ||
getParamValues21 | warning | |
analysepatterns=Y but flagbadpixels=N and
othereventset is nt set. Option is ignored
corrective action: none | ||
readFrames10 | warning | |
no FLAG in frame file. Skip CUT_GTI
corrective action: check what went wrong in emframes | ||
readFrames11 | warning | |
CR_DEAD not run on frame file. Continue assuming no dead time.
corrective action: run emframes with setdeadtime=Y | ||
readFrames12 | warning | |
no GATTIVAL column in input frame file. Skip SP_GATTI
corrective action: run emframes with setgatti=Y | ||
readFrames14 | warning | |
The CHECKFRA keyword is not set in the frame file.
Continue anyway
corrective action: check that the frame file was processed by emframes | ||
readFrames15 | warning | |
the input frame file cannot be used.
CUT_GTI, PUT_TI/PUT_TT and SP_GATTI are skipped
corrective action: the input frame file should be the output of emframes. Check what went wrong in emframes | ||
readFrames18 | warning | |
writegattispecset=Y but GATTI off. Continue but
no GATTI histogram will be produced
corrective action: none | ||
read2Frames10 | warning | |
no FLAG in secondary frame file.
Continue assuming all frames from secondary node are valid
corrective action: check what went wrong in emframes | ||
addOffsets10 | warning | |
no offset/variance extension but flagbadpixels=Y,
rejectrows=Y or othereventset is set.
Assume constant and continue. This is non standard but has
no major effect
corrective action: consider restarting from the output of emframes and badpix | ||
checkOffsets10 | warning | |
offset/variance file does not exist. Continue
corrective action: check this was not a typing error | ||
checkOffsets11 | warning | |
no valid offset/variance file but flagbadpixels=Y,
rejectrows=Y, flagtruncatede1=Y or
othereventset is set. Continue using offsets from CAL
corrective action: if you really need specific offsets, look for them in neighbouring ODFs | ||
findBestTime12 | warning | |
no compatible offset/variance file older than current exposure.
Consider files obtained after current exposure
corrective action: check you have not forgotten an OVE.FIT file | ||
checkRejected10 | warning | |
more than 90% events rejected. Continue.
This is unusual but may happen in normal conditions
corrective action: check the log (with verbosity set to 4 at least) to know why those events were rejected | ||
reanalyze13 | warning | |
no event survived CUT_BAD and EV_REC
corrective action: check nothing went wrong | ||
reanalyze15 | warning | |
blocksize smaller than number of events in a single frame.
blocksize is increased internally
corrective action: this is often the sign that something is deeply wrong with at least one frame. check NVALID in the frame file and remove the events belonging to frames with very large NVALID | ||
putXY10 | warning | |
PUT_XY was already applied before. This changes the RAWX
and RAWY columns and may not be applied twice.
EV_REC, CUT_BAD and BINODAL may not be reapplied either
corrective action: restart from the output of emframes and badpix if you wish to reapply PUT_XY | ||
rejectRows11 | warning | |
rejectrows=Y but PUT_XY not applied. REJECT_ROWS not done
corrective action: run emevents with setcoordinates=Y | ||
rejectRows12 | warning | |
Exposure loss exceeds 1% at some rows (not corrected for)
corrective action: run emevents with -V 6 to know which | ||
spGatti11 | warning | |
ENERGYE1 incoherent with GATTI and offsets.
Flag event for rejection and continue.
This may affect the flare screening light curve, and may also
leave a bump in the spectrum above 12 keV
corrective action:
| ||
checkValid14 | warning | |
invalid RAWX, RAWY or PATTERN.
Reject that event. This can only be the result of an error
on board, in the transmission or on the ground
corrective action: if several of those happen in close sequence, check ODF quality around those frames | ||
initSifluor11 | warning | |
something went wrong in the Si fluorescence recognition.
This affects a very small fraction of events
corrective action: contact developer | ||
readBadpix15 | warning | |
a bad pixel has invalid coordinates. Ignore it and continue
corrective action: inform SOC (this is probably a CCF error) | ||
openEventsIn12 | warning | |
the events file is empty. Continue anyway
(the exposure may be useful)
corrective action: check this is normal | ||
openEventsIn14 | warning | |
offvarsets was set but the input file already went
through emevents. Option ignored
corrective action: restart from the output of emframes and badpix if you wish to change the offsets | ||
getNvalid10 | warning | |
events were found beyond the last frame in the frame file.
They are rejected
corrective action: check the frame file was complete | ||
getNvalid11 | warning | |
an event was found with invalid frame number. It will be rejected
corrective action: check quality of neighbouring events as well | ||
getXmmDate13 | warning | |
invalid or absent DATE-OBS keyword in file.
Continue setting the date to 01/01/2000.
This is used only for ordering event and offsets files
corrective action: check DATE-OBS keyword |
