Stage Five: “fluxing”

The fifth processing stage creates the fluxed spectrum of the primary source. A necessary by-product of this stage is a set of order-specific response matrices for each exposure processed. While a fluxed spectrum is never appropriate for quantitative analysis (it is just a qualitative summary of the data), the response matrices produced at the default settings are adequate for use with external fitting packages.
