rxtescreen

Name
             rxtescreen
Purpose
             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.
Category
             RXTE data analysis
Calling Sequence
             rxtescreen,path=path,dirs=dirs,title=title,electron=electron
Input Parameters
             path: path to the observation
             dirs: subdirectories to the individual observing blocks
Optional Input Parameters
             title: title of the observation
             electron: set to electron ratio threshold for data extraction
Keyword Parameters
             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
Output Parameters
             a plot is produced
Example
      obsid='P10241'
      dirs=['01.00','01.000']
      path='/xtearray/cyg/'
      rxtescreen,path=path+obsid,dirs=dirs,title=obsid

Revision History
 $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
Keyword Parameters
       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
