HRC Test Coefficients

Below are the values used by the CXC automated processing software for event flagging of HRC data. Detailed definitions of each test are available by clicking in the test names in the table below.

Test	Description of Test	HRC-I Coefficients	HRC-S Coefficients
Event Flatness	The charge cloud is distributed more widely than normal.	v1 (text file) v1 (FITS file)	v1 (text file) v1 (FITS file)
H-Test		v3 (text file) v3 (FITS file)	v4 (text file) v4 (FITS file)
Amplifier Saturation	The amount of charge is either higher or lower than normal.	v2 (text file) v2 (FITS file)	v2 (text file) v2 (FITS file)
