Input Files

1. (Mandatory) a dataset with an exposure cube (without vignetting) in the primary image extension. The output of task eexpchipmap is suitable. A description of the cube format can be found in the documentation of that task.

2. (Only mandatory if outputstyle=`sky') a FITS dataset, which contains an image in its primary extension. The name of this dataset should be supplied to parameter templateset. The output image (noiseimageset) is constructed so as to match templateset's pixel dimensions and World Coordinates.

3. (Only mandatory if outputstyle=`sky' and attstyle=`binnedset') attbin output file, containing a table ATT_BINS with columns TSTOP, RA, DEC, PA and IS_GOOD. The table should also contain a TIMEZERO keyword.

4. (Only mandatory if dssstyle=`dss') A FITS dataset, the name of which should be supplied to parameter dssset. The primary extension of this dataset should contain Data SubSpace (DSS) information which describes any relevant event selections. Eg if you want to make a background map to match the event selections used in the construction of an image, you will probably want to supply this image to parameter dssset (provided that the image contains the selection specification in the form of a DSS).
