SphinX Level-1 FITS Files, Software and Calibration Information
General guidelines for SphinX users can be found in
Sphinx User Guide.
This site also makes available a few IDL routines that can be used to:
- read SphinX event FITS files filter,
- filter out X-ray events of solar origin,
- construct higher level data products (lightcurves and spectra) from event lists.
For trial runs it is recommended to copy from this site all the programs and FITS files to working directory.

SphinX IDL software routines
sphinx_select.pro - IDL routine for filtration of SphinX event lists
sphinx_lightcurve.pro - IDL routine for generating X-ray lightcurves from SphinX event lists
sphinx_spectrum.pro - IDL routine for generating X-ray spectra from SphinX event lists
Examples of use
sphinx_test_lc.pro - sample IDL program that reads the SphinX event FITS file and plots lightcurves
sphinx_test_spectrum.pro - sample IDL program that reads the SphinX event FITS file and plots spectra
SphinX data files used by sphinx_test_lc.pro and sphinx_test_spectrum.pro.
These files need to be present in working directory together with all IDL routines linked above
SPHINX_090704_044307_095331_evn_D1_L1.fts - Sample SphinX event FITS file
SPHINX_RSP_256_nom_D1.fts - SphinX detector response matrix FITS file
