|
Name of input EPIC pn or EPIC MOS events file
(e.g., of a source or selected region) | ||||
| withbackgroundset | no | boolean | N | Y/N |
|
whether to use background event set for background subtraction | ||||
| backgroundset | no | data-set | bkg_events.fits | |
|
Name of background EPIC pn or MOS event file | ||||
| backscal | no | real | 1.0 |  0.0 |
|
background-to-source extraction area ratio; also needs to

|
whether to select FLAG==0 internally | ||||
| withoutputmask | no | boolean | N | Y/N |
|
whether to create a CCD map with positions FLAG==0
set to 1 | ||||
| outmaskname | no | string | ./flag0_map_##.dat | |
|
name of output FLAG=0 map if withoutputmask=Y,
the substring ## will internally be
replaced with the CCD number currently in use (two digits) | ||||
| device | no | string | /VCPS | /VCPS |
|
PGPLOT output device (other options: /GIF or /XW for screen output) | ||||
| outdir | no | string | ./ | |
|
output directory for output file | ||||
| useplotfile | no | boolean | N | N/Y |
|
whether to use plotfile as output file name, otherwise
construct name from input data set + `_pat.ps' | ||||
| plotfile | no | string | events_pat.ps | |
|
output file name | ||||
| withqdp | no | boolean | N | N/Y |
|
whether to create also QDP output file,
construct name from input data set + `_pat.qdp' | ||||

whether to plot also average
DETX and DETY positions | ||||
| withsrcxy | no | boolean | Y | N/Y |
|
whether to plot also real-valued
SRCPOSX and SRCPOSY positions | ||||
| withusermode | no | boolean | N | N/Y |
|
whether to use the user-defined mode usermode instead
of the SUBMODE model for comparison | ||||
| usermode | no | integer | 0–5 | |
|
if withusermode=Y then use this mode for model comparison,
in cal
convention:
0=FF, 1=eFF, 2=LW, 3=SW, 4=TI, 5=BU | ||||
| withuserrawy | no | boolean | N | N/Y |
|
whether to use the user-defined mode usermode instead
of the SUBMODE model for comparison | ||||
| userrawy | no | real | 190.0 | 1-200 |
|
if withuserrawy=Y then use this coordinate value for
the spatial dependence | ||||
| xaxisadu | no | boolean | N | Y/N |
|
whether to use ADU (instead of eV) as unit for x-axis | ||||
| sigma | no | real | 3.0 | 0– |

|
to select certain RAWX RAWY CCDNR range from the PN (only) event file
for accumulation of the distributions
| ||||
| plotyrange | no | real-list | 0 0 | |
|
to fix the Y range (in log10 values) in the distribution plot
for an easier comparison with other observations;
if second value is not larger than first value then do an
automatic determination of the Y range
