5.5 Taking delivery of RGS data
It is a good idea to
adopt a systematic naming scheme for a hierarchy of XMM-Newton directories in
which to store and distinguish raw ODF data, pipeline PPS products, and
in this case RGS files of your own making. For example, when dealing with the Mkn421
observation with ID 0136540101 in revolution 259 appropriate directories might
be called
/data/XMM/0136540101/ODF
/data/XMM/0136540101/PPS
/data/XMM/0136540101/RGS
These directories will be used in some examples below.
After your XMM-Newton data have been downloaded from the archive, the contents of the data
package should be verified
with reference, should the need arise, to
the XMM-Newton Data File Handbook [27] which contains details of
the structure of all XMM-Newton files.
