lcv

NAME

lcv, create lightcurve and spectrum for each source found in irs resultfile.

SYNOPSIS

   * lcv
   * lcv -p [options] irs lcv
   * lcv -q

The program can be started with no arguments at all, in which case the
parameter values are taken from the parameterfile.
Alternatively, values can be passed via the commandline, the required items
as command arguments, the optional ones as valued switches.

The last form (-q) creates the parameterfile in $PFILES.

The table lists all the parameters used by lcv, the second column lists the
paramater key names used in the parameterfile, the first column gives the
corresponding switch letter.

   p   p_filtr  area   i  exclude the events from one (or more) strong
                          source(s) in the correlation, thereby nullifying

                          sources.

DESCRIPTION

output is a FITS binary table, existing of 1+32+32 columns for every
timebin:

    column   name              unit
       1     time               sec.
    2-33     lc0 ,lc1... lc31    cts/sec.cm^2
   34-65     err0,err1... err31  cts/sec.cm^2

    lc0(err0)              lightcurve of all events summed,
    lc1..lc31(err1..err31) lightcurve in each channel.
