XMM-Newton Data Files Handbook

5.2 File naming convention

The constituents of the current calibration file are named as follows:

scope_calname_issue.ccf

where:

scope

indicates the scope of the calibration file. While 6 characters are reserved (see Table 28), no scope identifier is longer than 5 characters. The list of scope identifiers is given in Table 29.

calname

is the calibration data type identifier. While 32 characters are reserved (see Table 28), no data type identifier is longer than 17 characters. The list of data type identifiers is given in Table 30.

issue

is the file issue number (integer $\ge 0000$ and $\le 9999$, zero padded).

File names are all upper case, but in this document they are type set with upper and lower case letters for readability.

Table 29: Allowed scope identifiers

XMM	general files or files shared by more than one instrument
OM	Optical Monitor files
XRT1, XRT2, XRT3	X-ray Telescope files
EMOS1, EMOS2	European Photon Imaging Camera MOS files
EPN	European Photon Imaging Camera PN files
RGS1, RGS2	Reflection Grating Spectrometer files

Table 30: Calibration data types by scope. A '+' indicates that calibration files for the respective scope is present and is explained in Sect. 5.3
