The procedure is intended for interactive use only. It requests the location of source and background boxes from the currently displayed image and produces a background subtracted, exposure corrected, spectral dataset for the source. The procedure may optionally arrange to collect data from periods only when the WFC and XRT systems were collecting data simultaneously.
To run (from within ICL):
The online parameters areICL> WFCSPC (OUTF) (MERGE) (XTIM)
OUTF CHAR The o/p spectral dataset MERGE LOGICAL Requests WFC and XRT commonality XTIM CHAR If MERGE is set this is the name of a simple text file in which each record contains a pair of MJDs between which the XRT was collecting data. The MJDs should be separated by a space and each preceded by the letter 'M'.
