... This thread contains a step-by-step recipe to extract MOS spectra of a point-like source observed in Imaging mode and to create associated response matrices, starting from a calibrated, concatenated event list (either produced with emproc or available as PPS product; here it has the assumed file name MOS.fits ). ... The users should note that the SAS metatask xmmselect allows them to interactively define source and background regions (via ds9) and to run backscale on the fly. ...

... A data set contains a science frame and all its associated calibration frames. In order to archive a maximum of efficiency the CCD package uses a simple and straightforward naming convention: the names of the data sets are identical to the names of the science frames. ... By combining the calibration frames of a particular exposure type ( e.g. bias) the user can create a master calibration frame. ... Below follows a listing of calibration frames that currently can be handling in the CCD package. ...

NAME ABbuilder - DFO data organization tool SYNOPSIS ABbuilder <options> where <options> are: --raw-dir directory containing raw data --cal-dir directory containing calib data --cal-ldir directory containing symbolic links to calib files --cal-list mcalib list --vcal-dir directory containing virtual products --pro-dir where pipeline products are created --ab-dir where association blocks are created --oca-rul file containing OCA rules --instrume instrument --date YYYY-MM-DD --mode { CALIB | ...

... All of the installed reference files contain HISTORY keywords at the end of the header which can be viewed using the IRAF imhead task. ... Several types of reference files and their associated calibration processes have been improved substantially. ... Since the WF/PC-1 darks were found to be time-variable (see WF/PC-1 Instrument Science Report 93-01), additional calibration observations were obtained and dark reference files generated for specific time intervals. ... d0h file). ...

... GUIDE'' (Graphical User Interface for a Data Environment) is an interactive IDL widget-based package that enables users to retrieve selected sets of satellite instrument data and perform various types of graphical analyses on them, without writing a specialized program. GUIDE simplifies the task of laying out multiple plots on a page by (1) using a page-editor to define and laying out multiple ``panels'' which contain the ``plot objects'', and (2) integrating data retrieval functions. ...
