7.5.20 SXT_OFF_AXIS

The X-ray vignetting function can be approximately removed with the routine SXT_OFF_AXIS. Example calling statements are:
IDL> data_out = sxt_off_axis(index, data, index_out)
 
IDL> data_out = sxt_off_axis(index, data, /update_index)

IDL> vignette = sxt_off_axis(index, /vignette_only)
SXT_OFF_AXIS calls SXT_VIGNETTE to calculate the SXT X-ray vignette function. See SXT Calibration Note 37 and the Instrument Guide of this manual for more information. Two Vignette functions have been determined: the high-energy function is applied to the Al12 and Be119 filters and the low-energy function is applied to all other filters. Note that this approach is somewhat approximate and care should be used when applying this correction to SXT data.
