5.1.6 Light Curve of HXS-PH

After having read the WBS data with YODAT, you can get a light curve of the count rate (counts/sec) of selected HXS-PH channel or energy ranges with UTPLOT.
IDL> plot_hxsph,index,data,range=[a,b]
 
IDL> plot_hxsph,index,data,range=[234.5,345.6]

IDL> plot_hxsph,index,data,channel=[i,j]

IDL> plot_hxsph,index,data,channel=[15,20]
where range is the energy range in keV to plot. The second example plot the total hxs_ph counts between 234.5 and 345.6 keV. The optional keyword channel can specify which channels to sum. The fourth example above bins all counts between 15th and 20th channels. There are some optional inputs such as error bar, time range and summation of adjacent PH data etc. NOTE: You must be careful of the limitation due to dead time correction (see DTCF_PH_HXS.PRO in the Reference Guide).
