RXTE GOF: Frequently Asked Questions |
---|
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions at the GOF. If you have been reading our ABC Guide and the data analysis recipes in our Cook Book and still have a question, please see if it is answered here before sending it into the help desk. They are somewhat grouped by topic, but you may want to search for the name of a tool or other relevant key word.
Software and general FTOOLS problems:
- What are the known bugs and how should I report a possible new bug?
- What is the status of XTE analysis and calibration software?
- Were can I find out about software updates or read the release notes?
- Which Platforms and Compilers are used for testing (i.e., guaranteed to function properly)?
- I am running my own script and the tool isn't working properly.
- I input a list via the '@filename' option, but the tool seems to have problems finding the files.
- The processing appears to be taking a VERY long time. Can I speed this up?
