The detectors have been shipped to GSFC for integration and further testing. After the flight acceptance test, MOXE is in principle ready for delivery to IKI for integration on the SXG spacecraft. In april 1994 the development of a ground-based data analysis package was started by members of all three partner institutes. The first step concerns the development of MOXE simulation software. This software produces event lists that may be piped through a simulation of the MOXE fligth software or directly piped to analysis software, when ready.
Simulations provide excellent means to fine tune the development of analysis software.
The basic capabilities of the QLA package are in place and was used at the flight acceptance test in September 1996. The purpose of the Short Term Scientific Analysis package is to provide a quick overview of the status of the X-ray sky and perform the scientific analysis of events with a time scale less than about 30 days. The most important scientific goal for the short term analysis is to detect unusual behavior of X-ray sources. This includes unusual intensity or spectral state of known sources, detection of new or recurrent transients on various time scales. Work has been done on an automated transient search, and work is in progress on other parts of the software.
