The SWIFT BAT Software Guide Version 6.3 30 ... - HEASARC - Nasa

E.4. SWIFT BAT SOFTWARE BUILD 6: 2003 AUG 25 195
are now computed, as well as the partial coding fraction if pcodefile
is provided. batcelldetect can now output a region file with source
positions, compatible with both FV/POW and DS9. In DS9, the source
name will be printed next to the marked position.
batclean -- SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
The tool now cleans sources as well as background. It reads an input
catalog as created by batcelldetect to determine the source location
in BAT coordinates. It then calls batmaskwtimg, which produces a
forward projection of the source onto the focal plane. Also added
some additional output options. Added caldb access.
batdrmgen -- SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
New with this version:
1) The program now accepts many different incident energy bin edges such
as LIN, LOG, USER (custom bin edges) and a default (INDEF) spectrum
with some of the bin edges adjusted for the Cd and Te K edges.
2) Calibration parameters are now taken from a FITS file where each
combination of incident enery, tanx and tany has a corresponding list
of parameters that are to be used to generate the correct response.
3) CALDB has been implemented, so if the user types "calfile = caldb" or
"depthfile = caldb", the program will use the caldb utility to select
the parameter files appropriate for the data to be analysed.
4) The incident energy range upper limit has been increased to 500 keV.
5) Off-axis response has been implemented.
6) Response now includes the escape peaks for Cd and Te in the spectra
Limitations of this version:
1) Keywords representing the state of the PHA data (whether or not
various corrections have been applied) have not been implemented.
2) The cal parameters file currently has identical entries for each cell
- we must change the file to include the right spectral parameters.
bateconvert -- MINOR CHANGES
Added caldb access for residual and pulser files. Changed the format
in which these files are read in. Fixed a bug in the application of
the quadratic fit. Added caldb access.
batfftimage - CHANGED
batfftimage can now read and analyze multiple images in a single run.
The images must be in a single file, either as one per image
extension, or in a binary table of images. The output file will
contain multiple sky images in separate extensions.
CALDB access routines have been added (via batutils) to read the
aperture and teldef files. Corrections to some coordinate
