Suzaku Software V16 (Heasoft v6.9)


Suzaku software Version 16 - Changes since HEASoft v6.8:

-----------------
 Suzaku general:
-----------------

- aepipeline:
         Added bstgti parameter for xistime. Added hxdpi_old parameter to
         allow use of old hxdpi (hxdpi_old) or new hxdpi.

---------------------
 HXD specific tools:
---------------------

- hxdpi:
         Update for the new GSO calibration, which enables users to lower the
         GSO energy threshold from 70 to 50 keV. Uses a new CALDB gain file
         type (gspgpt), which is not backward compatible with the old CALDB
         gain file (gsoght). Writes the keyword GSOOLDPI set to 'F', to
         indicate that the new GSO calibration has been applied. Three new
         parameters have been added:

           hxd_gsogpt_fname - HXD GSO gain parameter table name
           leapfile         - Leap second file name
           orbit            - Orbit filename

         One parameter has been removed:

           hxd_gsoght_fname - HXD GSO gain history table name

- hxdpi_old:
         Identical to the hxdpi released with HEAsoft version 6.8, except that
         it writes the keyword GSOOLDPI set to 'T', to indicate that the old
         GSO calibration has been applied.

- hxdgrade:
         Updated to read GSOOLDPI keyword written by both hxdpi and hxdpi_old
         to determine which CALDB file to use for the pseudo events selection.

- hxdmkbstlc:
         Added support for dead-time correction.

- hxdmkbstspec:
         An editorial error in the definition file, hxdmkbstspec.def, was
         fixed. Help file was updated.
