PBIN N1 N2 N3 P1 P2 NBIN PHASE METHOD WEIGHTS -- Phase bins spectra
Parameters:
N1 -- Slot number of first spectrum to average
N2 -- Slot number of last spectrum to average
N3 -- Slot in which to start
P1 -- Start phase (start of first bin)
P2 -- End phase (end of last)
NBIN -- Number of phase bins
PHASE -- Phase to use, choice of 7:
'O' -- Orbital phase
'S' -- Spin phase
'B' -- Beat phase
'H' -- Hump phase
'1' -- Phase1
'2' -- Phase2
'3' -- Phase3
METHOD - Averaging method. At present supports
U -- Unit weights
D -- Dwell weights
R -- Response weights
V -- Variance weights
WEIGHTS -- file of weights. Whatever method is chosen, the weights can
be multiplied by individual weights first. <CR> to ignore
These can, for example, allow you to weight spectra with
a certain spin phase or whatever and provide a more flexible
method than straight selection.
Response weights are proportional to the local ratio of COUNTS/FLUX
and thus effectively add the counts together (optimum for photon
counting data). Variance weights use a single value equal to the
mean Signal/noise**2 for each spectrum.
Selection is done. Spectra must have same length.
