(chatter = 2) [integer, 0 - 5 ]<br />

Controls the amount of informative text written to standard output. Setting chatter = 1 produces<br />

terse output; chatter = 2 (default) additionally prints a summary of input parameters;<br />

chatter = 5 prints debugging information.<br />

(history = YES) [boolean ]<br />

If history = YES, then a set of HISTORY keywords will be written to the header of the<br />

specified HDU in the output file to record the value of all the task parameters that were used<br />

to produce the output file.<br />

D.19.5 EXAMPLES<br />

1. Partition data into Bayesian Blocks<br />

battblocks burst.evt burst_bb.gti<br />

2. Same as example 1, but with further event decimation<br />

battblocks burst.evt burst_bb.gti nspill=256<br />

3. Extraction of Bayesian blocks from a light curve; extraction of burst durations, including a<br />

user specified level of 68.3% of the burst (T90 and T50 intervals are always computed)<br />
