Introduction

The psf system provides an instrument independent interface to psf information for ASTERIX applications. A client application associates a psf with a dataset (psf_associ), which can be a binned dataset or an event dataset. The psf system identifies the spatial axes within the dataset (using BDI and EDI), and the energy axis if present. The psf system returns an ADI identifier to the application which contains the psf state variables for that dataset. Subsequent calls to the PSF system need only supply this identifier.

The psf system is in a fairly good state -- the only unfinished work was to split up the psfrtn.f module to document the routines properly and make debugging easier.
