omphotom (omphotom-1.5.1) [xmmsas_20230412_1735-21.0.0]

Using a parameter file

The parameters for a list of sources can be stored in a text file, which omphotom can access through the parameter paramfile. This method also allows sources from different images and source-list files to be reprocessed. Blank lines will be ignored and any error found in the file will be reported and the program stopped- the error message may indicate where the “error” in the file is.

An example parameter file is shown below, the line number on the left (not in the file) corresponds to that in the section notes
