filesNonCompatible | error |
| Input files are non-compatible (file type, DATAMODE) |
differentObservations | error |
| Two input event files from different observations have been used. This is strongly discouraged because of the subsequent difficulty of accurately using downstream software on the merged event file. Experts can force the task to merge these files by setting the command line parameter mergedifferentobs="yes" |
MergeGeneralWarning | warning |
| Merged eventsets may result in incorrect results of some downstream tasks
corrective action: See the task description! |
filesNonCompatible | warning |
| Input files not entirely compatible (INSTRUME, FILTER)
corrective action: Input files are merged - care should be
taken as to subsequent use |
noExposureMerge | warning |
| Input files are from different instruments - EXPOSURE extensions not merged
corrective action: Different instrument Exposure extensions not merged |
noGTIMerge | warning |
| Input files are from different instruments - GTI extensions not merged
corrective action: Different instrument GTI extensions not merged |
largePointingOffset | warning |
| Pointings are offset by a significantly large
amount
corrective action: Reprojection is performed - care should be taken
as to subsequent use |
noExtension | warning |
|
extension does not exist in one or both files - not merging
corrective action: Particular extension is not merged into output file |
noTimeColumn | warning |
| TIME column missing in one file - cannot establish order
corrective action: Files are merged in the user-input

noColumn | warning |
|
Column `Column name' missing in one file - not merging
corrective action: Particular column is not merged into output file |
noXYColumns | warning |
|
X and/or Y columns do not exist in one or both input files -
no reprojecting
corrective action: Coordinate reprojection is not performed |
fileTimeOverlap | warning |
| Files overlap in time - some TIME keywords cannot be correctly calculated
corrective action: Calculation of some keywords not performed - ONTIME, LIVETIME
etc |
tooManyColumns | warning |
| Too many columns given on command line
corrective action: Only first 12 user-specified columns will be copied |
unMatchedGTI | warning |
| Flare GTI extension missing in one dataset: will result in incorrect exposure times!
corrective action: Create matching input datasets and rerun task |
unMatchedSTDGTI | warning |
