This guide also explains the directory structure on your tape, as well as how to install all the requisite software. It also includes a description of how times are used in RXTE data files. A continually updated list of frequently asked questions about RXTE data reduction and analysis is available. We strongly recommend that you bookmark this FAQ and consult it first whenever you encounter a problem with RXTE data and software. To analyze your reduced RXTE data, you'll be able to use the Xanadu programs Xronos and Xspec for timing and spectra, respectively.
User guides are available for xronos and xspec .
The lists What we can do now and What we can't do yet summarize the current capabilities of the RXTE data reduction and analysis software, and of the calibration tools and information provided by the respective instrument teams. Selectively untar portions of the database. Combine PCA spectra obtained concurrently but created separately from Low-energy Binned mode data and Event mode data. Apply PCA gain and offset information. Correct PCA spectra and light curves for deadtime.
