espfilt (espfilt-5.1.2) [22.0.0-9173c7d25-20250127]

Examples

The following are several examples, with descriptions, of running espfilt:

• espfilt eventfile=mos1S001.fits

  Invoking the task with only an event file will cause it to 
  default to binning the data into 60 second bins and smoothing 
  it. The default min and max channels will be 2500eV and 
  8500eV respectively.
  

• espfilt eventfile=mos1S001.fits withsmoothing=yes smooth=25

  This will change the default smoothing from 51 to 25.
  

• espfilt eventfile=mos2S002.fits elow=500 ehigh=8000

  This command will change the default minimum and maximum energy ranges.
  

• espfilt eventfile=mos2S002.fits method=ratio ratio=1.5 withbinning=yes binsize=100

  This command will run espfilt in ratio mode with a user selected 
  FOV to unexposed corner ratio of 1.5 instead of the default 
  1.2 and binning the data into 100 second time bins rather than 
  the default of 60.
