5.1.2 Light Curves of SXS and HXS-PC

   

First, run YODAT to extract all the relevant WDA data for the flare. After running YODAT, when you return to the IDL prompt, you can execute the following WBS time plotting routine.
IDL> wbspc,data,index
  WBSPC plots the SXS-PC (2ch), and HXS-PC (2ch) time histories on a UT time axis. The following are the steps required to do the time plotting:

  1. First, a rough light curve of HXS of the whole event will pop-up in which you can select a time interval that you want as the complete 4-channel time histories.
  2. When selecting the time interval, follow the instructions which appear in the IDL session window.
  3. After obtaining the result, a menu window will pop-up, in which you can select a print-out to the local printer or exit from this routine to the main YODAT routine.
NOTE: You must be careful of the limitation due to dead time correction (see DTCF_PC_HXS.PRO in the Reference Guide).

The following time plotting routines from Sections 5.1.3 through 5.1.12 have executing steps similar to those described above. To obtain more detailed information about the execution, you can access the header section of each procedure by using the DOC_LIBRARY IDL procedure.
