Data analysis steps

As explained in the Overview Section, spi_science_analysis calls a number of executables which are launched in a given order. In the present chapter we describe some executables in more detail in order to explain how the main script works and what parameters you have to enter for a proper analysis.

Describing the executables we also discuss the parameters used by spi_science_analysis. To learn more about a particular executable, type its name with the -h option. Non-hidden parameters of the main script are marked with bold font. Usually names of the main script parameters are derived from the corresponding name of the parameters of the executables by adding the name of the executable in the beginning (e.g. parameter pointing_dol of the executable spi_obs_point has a name spi_obs_point_pointing_dol in the main script). In the rare case when this rule is broken we give both names in the description of the executable. A detailed description of the products of each step can be found in the Appendix section, where also the description of the raw data is given.
