| eventset | yes | data-set | | |
EPIC PN raw events data-set
|

EPIC PN events data-set with calibrated and corrected PI channels
|
| reemissionthresh | no | integer | | none |
selection parameter: trigger threshold (in adu) for preceding events
|
| randomizeposition | no | boolean | Y | Y/N |
yes, if the computation of physical camera detector coordinates
is done with randomization (former parameter `randomize')
|
| randomizeenergy | no | boolean | Y | Y/N |
yes, if the raw amplitudes should be randomized within a pulse-height bin
|
| testenergywidth | no | boolean | Y | Y/N |
yes, if use non-standard energy bin width (i.e., 1 eV instead of previously
used 5 eV binning in output PI column
|
| gainctiaccuracy | no | integer | 2 | 0-2 |
Accuracy of gain/cti correction
|
| withphagaincolumn | no | boolean | N | Y/N |
Whether to create intermediate column PHA_GAIN.
|
| lowgainenergyscale | no | boolean | N | Y/N |
When switching on the energy correction for low-gain mode data
then most of the events will fall outside the 2-byte-limit for the
PI column (i.e.  eV)
as the energy range is then about  keV; if one is interested in this
full range the setting “N" should be used and energy values be multiplied
later with 18.4 to obtain “real" event energies. Only effective for the
few low-gain mode exposures, of course.
|
| patternanalysis | no | boolean | Y | Y/N |
no, if pattern recognition has been done already
(future development, not active yet)
|
| withphotonmap | no | boolean | N | Y/N |
yes, if diagnostic photon map file should be created
(see parameter photonmapset)
|
| photonmapset | no | data-set | photonmap.dat | |
name of optional output diagnostic photon map file, it will have
4 extensions corresponding to 4 user-definable energy bands
(see lothresh and hithresh)
|
| lothresh | no | real-list | 0 200 500 0 | |
lower band limits [eV] for parameter photonmapset
|
| hithresh | no | real-list | 200 500 2000 32000 | |
upper band limits [eV] for parameter photonmapset
|
| mappatterntype | no | string | sssn | |
pattern types for the events of the individual band maps
(future development, not fully active yet),
s = singles, d = doubles, t = triples,
q = quadruples, n = non-singles, r = recognized,
u = unrecognized, m = multiples (m = d+t+q), a = all,
x = doubles in x-direction, y = doubles in y-direction,
v = doubles in y-direction with main near CAMEX (i.e. split backward),
w = doubles in y-direction with main away from CAMEX (i.e. split forward)
|
| withoutoftime | no | boolean | N | Y/N |
yes, if “out-of-time events” file should be created instead of
“normal events” file (only meaningful for IMAGING modes)
(considered as experimental)
|
| withctisrcpos | no | boolean | N | Y/N |
yes, if not the RAWY coordinates but the source position SRCPOS should be
used in the energry correction routines (only meaningful for IMAGING modes)
(considered as experimental).
See Sect.3.2.
|
| withctilongterm | no | boolean | Y | Y/N |
yes, if corrections for long-term CTI increase should be applied
|
| ctilongtermsoft | no | boolean | Y | Y/N |
yes, if special soft energy function should be included in the long-term
CTI corrections

yes, if special Y-dependence should be included in the long-term
CTI corrections
|
| withbackgroundgain | no | boolean | Y | Y/N |
yes, if background gain corrections should be applied

yes, if averaged discarded line value (rather than time resolved)
shall be used for background gain corrections

yes, if CCD offset corrections should be applied
(considered as experimental)
|
| withtempcorrection | no | boolean | Y | Y/N |
yes, if temperature-gain corrections should be applied
|
| checksasmip | no | boolean | N | Y/N |
yes, if the MIP rejection information obtained by task epframes
shall be printed (only meaningful if on-board rejection is switched off,
i.e. for SW, TI, BU modes).
|
| withrdpha | no | boolean | N | Y/N |
yes, if a correction for rate-dependent PHA effects for TI and BU modes
should be applied. The logical keyword PHA_RDCO indicates whether
this correction has been applied or not. If applied, then the keyword
PHA_RDCB gives the scaling factor B used in the correction,
derived from block RDPHA_DERIV in the CTI.CCF.

|
| withframecti | no | boolean | N | Y/N |

non-imaging modes (TI, BU) instead of the ODF frame numbers. For
FF, eFF, LW, SW modes internally always the TIME-derived frame numbers
instead of the dummy ODF numbers are used
(should not be changed).
