rmfgen (rmfgen-2.8.7) [xmmsas_20230412_1735-21.0.0]

An extended source

Here a choice has to be made between a uniform spatial averaging, made by:

rmfgen spectrumset=spectrum.ds rmfset=myresp.rmf detmaptype=flat

and supplying an image to give the ultimate accuracy by:

rmfgen spectrumset=spectrum.ds rmfset=myresp.rmf detmaptype=dataset detmaparray=myimage.ds

NB: The image supplied MUST be in detector and NOT sky (X/Y) coordinates.
