Synopsis
Return the fractional area factor of a PHA data set.
Syntax
get_areascal(id=None, bkg_id=None) id - int or str, optional bkg_id - int or str, optional
Description
Return the AREASCAL setting for the source or background component of a PHA data set.
Examples
Example 1
Return the AREASCAL value for the default data set:
>>> get_areascal()
Example 2
Return the AREASCAL value for the first background component of dataset 2:
>>> get_areascal(id=2, bkg_id=1)
PARAMETERS
The parameters for this function are:
| Parameter | Definition |
|---|---|
| id | The identifier for the data set to use. If not given then the default identifier is used, as returned by `get_default_id` . |
| bkg_id | Set to identify which background component to use. The default value ( none ) means that the value is for the source component of the data set. |
Return value
The return value from this function is:
areascal -- The AREASCAL value, which can be a scalar or a 1D array.
Notes
The fractional area scale is normally set to 1, with the ARF used to scale the model.
