Extracts the counters present in a reduced housekeeping rates file
.HKR together with the pointing information present in the aspect
file .ATT into a series of arrays in an HDS file.
The following arrays are stored at the top level of the o/p HDS file
- TEVS
-
Total events output by the detector preamplifiers
- VEVS
-
Valid events, i.e. TEVS within pulse height limits
- LEVS
-
Limited events, i.e. VEVS within the electronic f.o.v.
- AEVS
-
Accepted events, i.e LEVS entered into telemetry queue.
- FEVS
-
Final events, i.e. AEVS telemetered to ground
- RA
-
Pointing direction RA (degrees)
- DEC
-
Pointing direction DEC (degrees)
The program gives the option of binning directly from an HKR file i.e.
using the file start and end MJDs and intrinsic bin size of 8 secs) or
using the bin structure from an existing time series dataset.
In this latter mode the user may create arrays of background counts
aligned with an existing bin structure.
