Energy Models

The CSPEC option requires a counts spectrum in addition to any other psf option, ie. a name or a spatial model. The psf returned to the application is a sum of the psf as a function of energy weighted by the number of counts in each spectral bin. Thus, the user may tailor a psf to a specific source to achieve more accurate parameterisation or increase in sensitivity.
