Input Files

• ccdset

  The following tables are required from the input spectroscopy dataset, which is expected to have been processed by rgsbadpix.

  • EXPOSURE

    Required columns:

    FRAME	int32	frame identifier
    FLAG	int32	advisory flags
    TIME	real64	timestamp

  • PIXELS

    Required attributes:

    DATATYPE	instrument mode
    CCDID	ccd identifier
    CCDOCB	on-chip binning factor
    TELAPSE	total integration time
    WINDOWX0 WINDOWY0	telemetry window: origin (node coordinates)
    WINDOWDX WINDOWDY	telemetry window: dimensions
    RAWY$^{\ddag }$	nominal readout row in HTR mode

    Required columns:

    FRAME	int32	frame identifier
    RAWX RAWY$^{\dag }$	int16	coordinates
    ENERGY	int16	uncalibrated energy
    CCDNODE	int8	node identifier
    SHAPE$^{\dag }$	int8	shape code
    GRADE$^{\dag }$	int8	number of pixels
    PI	real32	calibrated energy

  • BADPIX0 and BADPIX1

    Required attributes:

    CCDNODE	readout node identifier
    WINDOWX0 WINDOWY0	telemetry window: origin (chip coordinates)
    WINDOWDX WINDOWDY	telemetry window: dimensions
    ABUTTED	abuts on opposing node

    Required columns:

    CHIPX CHIPY$^{\dag }$	int16	coordinates
    YEXTENT$^{\dag }$	int16	pixel count
