Description

• Quick cookbook
• Overview of the eimsim package.
  • What is and isn't simulated
  • Relations between the components of the package
  • Input and output directories and many-observation mosaics:
  • Multiple entry and exit points
  • Choice of source detection scheme
  • Parameter `astest'
  • Generic nature of many of the tasks
  
  
• The task eimsim
  • Make list of simulated sources
  • Flag those sources outside the region of detectability
  • Make a counts/pixel/sec image
  • Make a counts/pixel expectation-value image
  • Make a random, Poisson-distributed events image
  • Perform source detection
  • Transform the flux coordinate
  • Add various bits and bobs
  • Attempt to match detected and simulated sources
