5.1.5 Light Curve of Ratio of HXS-PC2 to HXS-PC1

After having read the WBS data with YODAT, you can get a light curve of ratio of HXS-PC2 to HXS-PC1 counting rates with UTPLOT. There are similar optional inputs to PLOT_HXSPC.
IDL> hxspc =mk_hxspc(index,data,xtime=xtime)
  MK_HXSPC is a function for making a float array of HXS-PC1 and PC2 data with UTPLOT. hxspc=fltarr(2,16*N), where N is the number of major frames. It takes two major frames to assemble a full set of WBS data. hxspc(0,*) is pc1 and hxspc(1,*) is pc2.
IDL> utplot, xtime, hxspc(1,*)/hxspc(0,*), index(0)
NOTE: You must be careful of the limitation due to dead time correction (see DTCF_PC_HXS.PRO in the Reference Guide).
