7.5.19 SXT_VIGNETTE

 

The SXT vignette function was determined from pre-launch calibration data obtained at White Sands Missile Range (WSMR) and was further refined using flight data. The vignette function is approximated by two non-concentric cones. The routine SXT_VIGNETTE computes the SXT vignette function for a given SXT image as described in the scalar SXT as follows:
IDL> vignette = sxt_vignette(index) ; SXT Index should be a scalar

IDL> vignette = sxt_vignette(array)

IDL> vignette = sxt_vignette(index,energy)
  If is given then and 0, 1, or 2, for full, half and quarter resolution. The second argument, will specify whether to use the low-energy results (derived from C-K and Al-K test data) or the high-energy results (derived from Ag-L test data). SXT_VIGNETTE is called by SXT_OFF_AXIS to correct SXT images. A quick summary is available by typing:
IDL> help_vignette ; Display SXT vignette function
