The example below was produced using a gaussian point response, for two sources of strengths 20 and 40 counts, centred at (-10,-10) and (15,20) respectively.
ICL> EVSIM
EVSIM Version 1.2-0
OUT - Name of output event dataset > EV
FIELDSIZE - Width of field in arcminutes /60/ >
PIXSIZE - Pixel size in arcminutes /0.5/ >
BACK - Number of background counts > 100
SOURCEC - Number of counts per source > 20 40
SOURCEP - Source positions /0,0/ > -10,-10,15,20
There will be 94 background counts
Source no. 1 has 19 counts
Source no. 2 has 36 counts
The PSF system can provide :
ANAL EXOLE PWFC WFC
PSF - Choose PSF for simulated sources /'ANALYTIC'/ >
No axis data present - using pixels
PSF definitions available
GAUSSIAN - Gaussian response TRIANGLE - Triangular response
TOPHAT - Tophat function FLAT_TRI - Triangle with flat top
MASK - Name of profile to use (select from above) /'GAUSSIAN'/ >
Dataset pixels are 0.5 arcmin square
AUX - Gaussian FWHM in dataset pixels > 5
The event dataset is now binned up using EVBIN
ICL> EVBIN EVBIN Version 1.2-0 INP - Enter name of input dataset /@EV/ > The available lists are: 1 X_CORR 2 Y_CORR Select the lists to be binned, by entering the index numbers. E.g. 1 2 3 LISTS - Index numbers > 1 2 X_CORR axis: The X_CORR data range is -30.25 to 30.25 The intrinsic width is 0.5. BINSIZE1 - Enter binsize /0.5/ > This will give 121 X_CORR bins Y_CORR axis: The Y_CORR data range is -30.25 to 30.25 The intrinsic width is 0.5. BINSIZE2 - Enter binsize /0.5/ > This will give 121 Y_CORR bins OUT - Enter name of the output dataset > IM A total of 149 events were binned
