Calibration Access and Data Handbook

Description

There is one extension per filter, and one extension containing the common energy bins data. The filter extensions include a region expression, to cover cases where we know there are spatial variations, and the transmission values corresponding to each energy bin datum.

The CCF contains the following tables:

FILTER-THIN1:

Thin1 filter transmission values. Accessed by :

• CAL_getFilterTransmission(): Retrieve filter transmission data as a function of energy for the THIN1 filter; the function exists in two flavors the second of which integrates the efficiency curve over a specified energy range

Attributes:

None.

Columns:

REGION:

The description of the region in which the transmission values are valid compliant with the selectlib spatial selection (in TELCOORD coordinates)

TRANSMISSION:

vector column with transmission efficiency values in the range [0, 1]; index corresponds to energy axis bins in table EBINS.

FILTER-THIN2:
