# First specify event files (can use the standard FITSIO filtering syntax).
# There may be several of them (e.g., a split observation);
# if they are not time-ordered, provide a parameter tbeg (in Chandra seconds) 
# to specify the beginning of the observation.
#
# To clean an ordinary light curve, just use file*; to clean by flux ratio
# in two energy bands, for each file* set fileref* (the denominator)
# which must be the same evt. file with a different energy filter (using
# FITSIO syntax).

num_datafiles=1

file1=evt.fits[events][energy>2500&&energy<7000&&ccd_id<=3]

# Time bin size, sec (1037.12=3.241*320; 3.241 s is the standard frame time).

binsize=1037.12

# Input and output GTI filenames:

gti_file=gti.fits               - input uncleaned GTI file
clean_gti_file=c7.gti.fits      - (optional) output cleaned GTI file


# These are output ASCII files for uncleaned and cleaned lightcurves.
# Uncleaned files will be created separately for each chip present in the
# event file (after the FITSIO filtering, if set), as well as for all chips
# together. The clean lightcurve will be made only for all chips. "?" will
# be replaced with either the chip ID or "acis" for all chips:

lc_dirty=acis.lc                   - (optional) files for lightcurves
lc_clean=acis.clean.lc


# The following is used to calculate the mean rate around which to clean.
# Set either of the two: 

clip=3              - this many sigmas to clip to calc. mean
 mean=0.441	    - use this preset mean value instead of computing


# The following is used to identify which lightcurve bins are bad.
# Set either max_factor or max_sigma:

max_factor=1.2         - max increase/decrease factor from the mean
 max_sigma=2           - max dev. from the mean rate, sigmas (NOT RECOMMENDED)

 ignore_neg_dev=y      - ignore negative dev. from mean (normally excluded)

 ignore_spikes=y       - ignore positive dev. from mean (normally excluded)
 ignore_nodata=y       - ignore bins with 0 counts (normally excluded)


# Output options:
 write_table_lc=y	- a simple table instead of a histogram
 write_separate_chips=y	- write uncleaned lc for each acis chip
