Instructions

This table contains several interactive features:
  • Pass the mouse over a Package Name box and the corresponding SAS tasks that are needed to complete the given package will be highlighted in gold.
  • Pass the mouse over a group of SAS tasks and those SAS tasks which are mandatory to be run beforehand will be highlighted in red, and those that are optional will be marked in green.
  • If a thread, or section of a thread, is available describing how to perform a specific task, or a set of tasks, it will be marked by in the Thread column. Placing the mouse over , the name of the corresponding thread is shown in a pop-up window.
Note: for a best view of the full table, use CTRL + '+' and CTRL + '-' to increase or reduce the zoom until the table fits in the whole browser window.

DATA PROCESSING
Prepare data for scientific product extraction
Data Preparation
Compile ODF information
All instruments
Construct an index of the calibration files required to analyze a particular Observation Data File (ODF). Also, it is necessary to create an ODF summary file by combining information from the observation itself with that extracted from the instrument housekeeping datasets
Calibrated Event Lists
Obtain calibrated event lists for all instruments
pn
Process the pn part of an ODF in order to obtain a calibrated event list
MOS
Process the MOS part of an ODF in order to obtain a calibrated event list
RGS
Process the RGS part of an ODF in order to obtain a calibrated event list
Event List Filtering and Diagnostics
Prepare calibrated event lists for scientific product extraction
pn, MOS
Filter an event list for periods of high background flaring activity. Define and create Good-Time-Intervals (GTI). Several methods are available to create GTIs
RGS
Filter an event list for periods of high background flaring activity. Define and create Good-Time-Intervals (GTI)
RGS
Remove unwanted frames and events from the combined event list for RGS
pn
Evaluate and correct images and spectra for Out-of-Time (OoT) events
pn, MOS
Assess whether an observation is affected by pile-up
RGS
Assess whether an observation is affected by pile-up
MOS
Check and flag MOS CCDs affected by enhanced electronic soft X-ray noise present in some observations
 
Photometry and Spectroscopy
Obtain images, source lists, light curves or spectra
OM
Process the OM part of an ODF in order to obtain images and source lists, light curves or spectra
