2 Changes
The offset of the PHA conversion was changed from a constant value in time, to a parameterization,
depending on observation date (OBS START). Therefore the OFFSET column was replaced by the
columns OFFSET CONST and OFFSET SLOPE and the attribute REFTIME was added. See [1, version
2.1] for a description of the functionality.
ALGOID = 1.
The analysis is described in [2].

3 Scientific Impact of this Update
The offset is used for the calculation of the PI values, which brings all CCD energy (through charge)
measurements onto the same scale. The PI value is subsequently used for the order selection of the
data, hence it influences the effective area.
Since the changes are only minor in PHA channels, the impact is too small to be measurable.
The slopes of the offset parameterization of the last period of validity were set = 0 in order to
avoid incorrect results in the course of time.
4 Estimated Scientific Quality
The changes correspond to the following operational changes/effects on the instruments:
ffl a large solar flare in revolution 109
ffl due to a failure on the electronics of RGS1 CCD7, operations were suspended during revolu­
tions 136--147
ffl the biases of all CCD's were lowered at the start of revolution 168, which also coincided with
the first operations following another large solar flare
ffl at the start of revolution 192 the bias of RGS2 CCD2 was brought back to its original value
The measured offset values are shown in Figures 1--4 as a function of revolution number. The
major events, which are listed above, are indicated by vertical dashed lines. The parameterizations
are overlay­ed by red lines, per period.
