Check my home page for more personal infos. This page contains documentation about sofware I am working on. The information is pretty low-level and is mainly intended for developers or advanced users. Higher-level documents about the sofware, such as User manuals, an data analysis guides, and so on, can be found in the project pages.

• Eventlist Files HOWTO: How to create lists of time-tagged photons to speed up the generation of RHESSI images, light curves and spectra.
• RHESSI Image HOWTO: This document describes how to use the image object of the RHESSI sofware. It focuses on the capability, introduced in autumn 2004, to generate image cubes. Image cubes are 4-dimenstional arrays containing images in multiple time and energy intervals. Readers are reffered to the RHESSI imaging first steps for more infromation about single imagge generation.
• DateTime HOWTO How to use the datetime() object, a "new" kind af very small objects with lots of methods. This one is used to manage the date/time formats.

• Roll Database Software HOWTO How to use the roll database software, hsi_roll_db() and hsi_roll_db_full().

EGSO  

• EGSO API HOWTO   Shows how to deal with the interface to the EGSO system
  

Other documents

• Time control and info parameters in the RHESSI sofware, a list of all time parameters and a discussion about simplifying the user view on these parameters.
