SciSim tools

Since the SAS is still under development, tools to perform a number of tasks are released together with SciSim:

• reporter2fits

  converts SciSim output into FITS format images

• reporter2pha

  converts SciSim output into PHA format (i.e., xspec-readable) spectra

• image2sources

  creates from an input image a decomposition into a list of sources that is then run through SciSim

• cluster

  interim routine to perform EPIC pn event reconstruction, which is not applied onboard.
