Description
A simple test insrument for the transmission grating component. Two examples of gratings are included matching those in the Chandra X-ray Observatory
Examples
(Test cases in bold)- Test: Test_grating_trans.instr E0=1.2 dE=0.01 GD=3 MEG=0 Detector: psd_giant_I=0.0269197
- Test: Test_grating_trans.instr E0=1.2 dE=0.01 GD=3 MEG=1 Detector: psd_giant_I=0.0573462
Input parameters
Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.| Name | Unit | Description | Default |
| E0 | keV | Central energy to emit from the source. | 1 |
| dE | kEV | Half energy spread of source. | 0.001 |
| GD | m | Distance from grating to detector. | 1 |
| Rx | deg | Rotation of grating around the X-axis. | 0 |
| Ry | deg | Rotation of grating around the Y-axis. | 0 |
| Rz | deg | Rotation of grating around the Z-axis. | 0 |
| MEG | Flag to chosse between the two included gratings. 1: medium energy grating (MEG), 0: high energy grating (HEG). | 0 |
