AHELP for CIAO 3.4 list_par Context: sherpa

Synopsis

Module function that lists information about all defined model parameters.

Syntax

Void_Type list_par()
list_par

Description

This function causes a table to be displayed with the following columns:

Columns in list_par Output

Label Displays:
Name The parameter name in the form <modelname>.<paramname>
Type Source/background model (src) or instrument model (inst)
Value The current value of the parameter, or the filename if appropriate
Lnk If 1, indicates that the listed parameter's value is linked to other parameter(s) (which are listed)
Frz If 1, indicates that the parameter's value is frozen
{Min | Max} The current (soft, i.e., changable) parameter lower and upper bounds
Delta The initial step size for the parameter in fits, with a negative value indicating that a default (usually 0.01 times Value) will be used

See the related Sherpa command SHOW for more information.

Example

Set up a Sherpa session; use list_par to show parameters:

sherpa> SOURCE = GAUSS[g]
sherpa> GAUSS[g2]
sherpa> g2.pos => g.pos
sherpa> RSP[a](example.rmf,example.arf)
sherpa> list_par
