swcx (swcx-0.16.2) [22.0.0-9173c7d25-20250127]

Parameters

This section documents the parameters recognized by this task (if any).

[Note: optional input files have the default of 'default'. If no specific filename is chosen, e.g., swcxmapdet, the task will create a filename of the form “mos1S001-swcsmapdet-350-1100.fits” based on reading INST, EXPIDSTR, and the elow, ehigh command line params.]
