SciSim configuration GUI

A particularly important GUI is the configuration GUI. This allows the user to choose which parts of XMM are to modeled, i.e., which sub-units of SciSim are to be executed. A screen capture of this GUI is provided in Fig. 85.

**Figure 85:** *The configuration GUI of SciSim, displaying which parts of* **XMM** *will be modeled. In the setup shown, all instruments will be modeled and the data will be stored in the files tempo (OM), tempe (EPIC) and tempf (RGS).*

Components of SciSim are switch on/off by clicking on an icon in the configuration GUI with the left mouse button. The name of the output data file for the chosen configuration will always be displayed.

By clicking on any of the icons in the configuration GUI with the right mouse button, a menu will pop up to configure that particular sub-unit of SciSim. These will be introduced briefly in the following.
