If you need to upgrade v1.x data into "v2.x equivalent" by yourself, please consult this page.

The distributed Suzaku data are already applied with the latest calibration (only the exception is the energy scale of GSO) and the clean events are screened with the standard criteria. From these event files, images, spectra, and light curves can be created using the standard multi-mission software, HEAsoft package. Mission-specific software, which are necessary for the standard analysis, are also released as a part of the HEAsoft. In the early stage of the mission, some additional files or tools prepared by the instrument teams may be provided via the web page, in addition to the HEAsoft.
