Matching CIAO and CALDB VersionsCIAO 3.4 requires CALDB 3.3.0 or higher to operate properly. CALDB 3.4.0 and higher should not be used unless you are running CIAO 3.4 or CIAO 4.0. Are your versions mismatched? Time to update CIAO and CALDB!
11 Nov 2008 These are the webpages relative to the CIAO 3.4 release (18 December 2006). They are no longer actively updated, however the CXC will continue limited support of CIAO 3.4 for the near future. CIAO 3.4 users should check the CALDB 3 website for compatible calibration updates. 15 Dec 2008 The newest version of the Chandra Interactive Analysis of Observations software, is CIAO 4.1, released on 15 December 2008. Read the release notes for detailed information. This release requires that CALDB 4.1.0 be installed for the software to work correctly. |
CIAO 3.4 Contributed ScriptsIntroductionMany data analysis tasks, particularly those that involve a formulaic procedure or many repetitions of a process, can be greatly simplified with scripts. Analysis scripts allow users to extend the functionality of a software package by writing custom "tools" to fit their specific needs. CIAO provides extensive support for the S-Lang scripting language, but shell and Perl scripts can also be used. The scripts on this page are written and maintained by local CIAO users at the CXC. We provide them here because many users have found them helpful in their data analysis. In addition, scripts are sometimes written to address known problems or limitations of the CIAO software that affect many users. Most of the scripts have an associated analysis thread that explains their use. We hope you will find these scripts helpful in your own data analysis. However, please be aware that these are not official CIAO tools, meaning that they are not fully supported by the CXC. When using one of these scripts, you should always be aware of exactly what the script is doing, as you are responsible for the validity of any scientific results obtained from it. If you find a problem with a script, please notify the CXC Helpdesk so that we can alert the script's maintainer. However, some scripts are no longer maintained by their original author, so we cannot guarantee when or if problems with scripts will be fixed. InstallationThe installation instructions explain how to install the script package (CIAO_scripts.tar), as well as how to run individual scripts. Download the Scripts
A VERSION.CIAO_scripts file is included in the scripts package. This allows you to check if you are working with the newest set of scripts: unix% cat $ASCDS_CONTRIB/VERSION.CIAO_scripts 04 Feb 2008 15:00:55 EST The VERSION.CIAO_scripts file is updated when you install a newer scripts package.
