Description

This function sets the value of the detector field in the CALDB structure. The case does not matter (it gets converted to upper case when actually querying the CALDB).

This field corresponds to the detector parameter of quizcaldb. For Chandra data you should use "ACIS-I", "ACIS-S", "HRC-I", or "HRC-S", or the value of the FITS DETNAM keyword (e.g. "ACIS-012346").

The caldb module is not available by default; to use it in a S-Lang program, it must be loaded using the S-Lang require() function:

  require("caldb");
