SAX-WFC Stage I Software



Stage I processing:

STAGE I DOCUMENT
General description and overview of StageI processing
Functional maps of StageI
Flowcharts of FOT handling

w_vaxlink
Create softlinks to rename *.dat files into *.fot files. The latter naming convention is essential for subsequent StageI analysis. Only useful for non-standard StageI processing.
w_proc
Extract, clean and process FOT data. A general script, using the following specialized programs:

wfotfits
Extract and process SAX-WFC FOT data.
watproc
Make WFC camera specific attitude date added with observation-Mode data and Earth-Occultation dinfo.
wattana
Analyze attitude data, in order to produce nominal pointing records reflecting the stability of the pointing or to concatenate attitudes of different observations.
wgtiflt
Filters a FITS table by selecting only the rows that have a time stamp within an specified set of time intervals.
whkproc
It processis both instrument and science housekeeping files of SAX-WFC converts all housekeeping values to physical units. Discards records with bad times. Produces deadtime values and detects peaks in countrates from science housekeeping data.
wmakgti
Create Good Time Interval (GTI) FITS file based on parameters in a Housekeeping data FITS file.
wqplot
Make plots from SAXWFC housekeeping data and additional data like gain.
wshift
Filters a FITS table by selecting only the rows that have a time stamp within an specified set of time intervals.
wslew
Process eventdata during recorded during slewing to produce instrument pointing and countrates per timebin.
wmrggti
Merge two or more GTI FITS files.
