rxtescreen
Plot an overview of an RXTE observation (lightcurve, content of GTI files, SAA passages, particle background) The file structure must correspond to the one used in Tuebingen, so not very useful elsewhere.
RXTE data analysis
rxtescreen,path=path,dirs=dirs,title=title,electron=electron
path: path to the observation dirs: subdirectories to the individual observing blocks
title: title of the observation electron: set to electron ratio threshold for data extraction
see above noback: set if no bkg subtraction is to be performed earthvle: set if EarthVLE background model is to be used faint: set if Faint background model is to be used q6: set if Q6 background model is to be used (default is to test for earthvle,faint,q6) skyvle: set if SkyVLE background model is to be used searchback: search for the appropriate background (default) exclusive: set to search for data that was extracted with the exclusive keyword to pca_standard being set. top: set to read top-layer data nopcu0: set to search for data that was extracted ignoring PCU0 fivepcu: plot count-rates wrt to whole PCA, i.e., normalizing to five PCU; default is to plot the average countrate per PCU
a plot is produced

$Log: rxtescreen.pro,v $ Revision 1.11 2007/09/13 09:23:12 wilms added automatic scaling of electron ratio panel Revision 1.10 2004/08/16 12:37:41 wilms better range for countrange Revision 1.9 2004/08/12 12:17:52 wilms added searchback keyword Version 1.0, 1999/01/26, Joern Wilms, IAA Tuebingen Version 1.1, 1999/02/04, JW/KP, IAAT Version 1.2, 1999/06/02, JW/KP/SB, IAAT: added EarthVLE and Faint keywords Version 1.3, 1999/06/07, JW, IAAT: added exclusive treatment and other invisible improvements Version 1.4, 1999/10/26, KP, IAAT: added SkyVLE and Q6
Version 1.5, 2000/10/19, JW,KP, IAAT: added fivepcu keyword, now, per default, the count rate is plotted in units of PER pcu Version 1.5corr, 2000/11/14, KP,EK CASS: added cass keyword, now the obscat path can be switched to the cass path by setting cass (default: iaat obscat path); created consistent version numbers for idl header and cvs Version 1.6, 2000/12/04, KP, IAAT: added nopcu0 keyword Version 1.7, 2001/01/04, JW, KP, IAAT: changes FINALLY correcting bug in plotting PCU on times Version 1.8, 2001/01/05, KP, IAAT: forgotten "stop" removed
