EVSIM
Generates simulated event datasets using a psf of the users choice.
Two methods of defining the size of the simulated field and the
background are available,
- The background can be flat (including zero) and the field size
and pixel quantum defined explicitly.
- Any 2-dimensional dataset can be read in as a model. The model
is normalised to create a cumulative probability distribution
which is then used to generate a simulated background. The
field size is the same as that of the input dataset.
After defining the background, as many as 50 sources may be added.
The total number of events is limited only by the users page file
quota.
NOTE : EVSIM only generates position lists - no timing information
is produced. A time series simulator is available called
TIMSIM.
