returns the correspondence between PI channels and energy ranges.
The raw PHA channels are converted to approximate energy values in the
form of PI channels. However the response matrix distributions are
provided also in PI channels, but typically in a fixed set of
energy ranges. TBD, these might be semi-log spaced to account for the
changing CCD energy resolution and to the reduced photon statistical
accuracy at the highest energies. Therefore the upper and lower energy
limits per response bin are to be converted between PI channel and
energy.
