6.1.2.3. Ascdump commands¶
The SPEX ascdump command is designed to return internal model parameters in SPEX through terminal output, an ASCII file or a FITS file. With pyspex we can return these numbers in a python object, making them directly available in your script as an Astropy table.
An overview of the different ascdump outputs and an explanation about the acronyms in the output table can be found in the section Ascdump: ascii output of plasma and spectral properties.
6.1.2.3.1. The ascdump command¶
- Session.ascdump(isect, icomp, atype)[source]¶
Generic ascdump method to obtain the various numeric outputs of the spectral models. (see https://spex-xray.github.io/spex-help/reference/commands/ascdump.html for more information).
Example:
>>> s.com('cie')
>>> asc = s.ascdump(1, 1, 'plas')
number of layer lines : 4156 0
No selection file used
>>> print(asc.table)
