An azimuthal profile is determined as follows. Input a spatially blocked and energy filtered image from above and use with the background determined from the broad-band background map.
cl> xray
xr> xspatial
xs> imcnts addbkg=no # Do not add the background error
Source image file: xdata$snr.qp
Source region descripter: c 503 513 50 & p 503 513 0 360 n=10
# circular region centered on point source with
# 25 pixel (block=2) radius divided into 10 pie slices.
background image file or cts/pixel: xdata$snr.qp
# broad band background map
bkgd region descriptor: a 503 513 50 100 # annulus around source
root name for output file [root_cnt.tab]: azim
# output table i.e. azim_cnt.tab
The profile can then be inspected using stsdas-stplot-sgraph. To look at the table (necessary to determine column headings for plotting) use stsdas-ttools-tprint.
