Summary of
Sherpa/S-Lang module functions that load data into
Sherpa
The load
functions of the Sherpa/S-Lang module are functional
analogues to the Sherpa command
READ, with a key difference:
READ simply inputs file-based data into
Sherpa,
while the load
functions may be invoked after data are manipulated at the command-line.
A simple intuitive example is the processing of read-in
time-series data before analysis, by
shifting the photon arrival times by some constant
(e.g., to make the arrival time
of the first photon t_new = 0).
