omgsource (omgsource-1.12.2) [xmmsas_20230412_1735-21.0.0]

Running the program

The various command lines for running the program are:

• omgsource imageset=... newsrclistset=... newspectrumset=... spectrumplotset=... For creating new source and spectrum list files (no parameters oldsrclistset oldspectrumset specified). The image stored in the image file specified by the parameter imageset is displayed without any source regions overlayed. The user can either select spectra manually, or run the SAS task omdetect to detect sources.

• omgsource imageset=... oldsrclistset=... oldspectrumset=... newsrclistset=... newspectrumset=... The sources and spectra stored in the fits files corresponding to the parameters oldsrclistset and oldspectrumset, respectively, are loaded. The image stored in the fits file specified by the parameter imageset is displayed with the source regions overlayed. Each source and spectrum is numbered.

• omgsource In this case the program will display a file-dialog box to get the name of the imageset.

• omgsource oldsrclistset=... oldspectrumset=... As before, except that the user wishes to modify an existing source and spectrum list file.
