3.2.2 Displaying or printing time profiles

After extracting HXT data using YODAT, time profiles of HXT data in the four energy bands with the highest time resolution (e.g. 0.5 s for high-bit rate case) are displayed on the screen by typing:
IDL> hxt_4chplot,index,data
with pre-storage of HXT data in DP taken into account (a four or eight second delay in the time tag for the data). Print-outs of HXT time profiles are available by adding an option /psout to the above command:
IDL> hxt_4chplot,index,data,/psout
which produces a PostScript file ``idl.ps'' containing the time profiles on the current directory. The print-outs are easily obtained on Unix systems (which have the default printer set up properly) by typing
% lpr idl.ps
