unpack_rmf

Synopsis

Unpack an RMF from a crate

unpack_rmf( filename|RMFCrate )

Description

The unpack_rmf command unpacks an RMF from a FITS file or an RMFCrate into a Sherpa data object.

If a filename is provided as input, a crate is created but hidden and cannot be used for other analysis in the session.

• filename|RMFCrate - the name of the file (with path) or RMFCrate which contains the RMF data

Example 1

sherpa> rmf1 = unpack_rmf("rmf.fits")

Unpack the RMF into the object "rmf1".

Example 2

sherpa> rmfcr = read_rmf("3c273.rmf")
sherpa> rmfdata = unpack_rmf(rmfcr)

The RMF is read into an RMFCrate (named "rmfcr") from the file 3c273.rmf. The RMF is then unpacked into Sherpa from the crate.
