The Output File<br />

The “final” file will contain Time (in MET), Bin<br />

width (s) number of counts in the bin, Error<br />

Exposure.<br />

To convert to rates use e.g. fv or other software<br />

to divide counts by exposure. (Also convert<br />

from MET to MJD.)<br />

Error bars in output file are sqrt(counts)<br />

For (e.g.) few counts this may be incorrect.<br />

To do things correctly is more complicated (see<br />

supplemental material).<br />
