NAME
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.
USAGE
whkproc infile outfile [options]
DESCRIPTION
The reulting housekeeping data files can be used as input for
The determinatipon of the Good Times i=Intervals for slececting
the event lists.
PARAMETERS
infile [string]
Name of the input housekeeping FITS file to be precessed.
outfile [string]
Name of the cleaned and processed output housekeeping FITS file
(peakfind=yes) [boolean]
If positive a peakfile will be generated, the name of which is
the argument of the 'peakfile' parameter
(peakfile=" ") [string]
The name of the output FITS file containing the rise and
fall times that specify detected countrate peaks.
(deadcalc=yes) [boolean]
If positive a deadtime file will be generated, the name of which is
the argument of the 'deadfile' parameter
(deadfile=" ") [string]
The name of the output FITS file containing the calculated
deadtimes per second.
(calfile1=" ") [string]
The name of the input FITS file that contains the coordinates
of the area boxes used for clipping and storing all events being
located in any of these rectangulars. The data only pertains to
events of SAX WFC-1. The purpose is to store separately all the
events that come from the In-Flight Calibration sources for
further gain calculations. For a description of the relevant
table in this file, see TBD.
(calfile2=" ") [string]
Same as for calfile1, only used for SAX WFC-2.
(convsec=no) [boolean]
Option to convert the value in the time column to seconds.
This normally is not needed, but is hady when making
plots with 'fplot' the standard ftools plot facility.
(tforce=no) [boolean]
Option to force the task ito running in test mode.
This will introduce artificial rate burst to test the
peakhunt routines.
(verbsty=0) [integer]
The verbosity level will control the output volume.
EXAMPLES
1. Clean and convert a science housekeeping file and produce
a file with peak detection results.
-> whkproc OBS_phs0 OBS_phs1 peakfind=yes peakfile=peak tforce=yes
2. Clean and convert an instrument housekeeping file and produce
and convert the time to seconds
-> whkproc OBS_phi0 OBS_phi1 convsec=yes
KNOWN BUGS
- Deadtime calculation formula not yet established
- Time holes may present problems ?
