  ntrials [integer]
    Number of Monte Carlo samples.
     
  caldb [string]
    Calibration database repository.
     
  irf [string]
    Instrumental response function that should be used for event generation.
     
  type [string]
    Source model type (point/gauss/shell/disk).
     
  (index = -2.48) [double]
    Spectral index for source model.
     
  offset [double]
    Source offset angle (in degrees).
     
  bkg [string]
    Background model file function (none=power law for subarray E).
     
     
  emin [double]
    Lower energy limit (in TeV).
     
  emax [double]
    Upper energy limit (in TeV).
     
  enumbins [integer]
    Number of energy bins (0=unbinned).
     
  duration [double]
    Effective exposure time (in seconds).
     
  (rad = 5.0) [double]
    Radius of ROI (in degrees).
     
  (npix = 200) [integer]
    Number of pixels for binned analysis.
     
  (binsz = 0.05) [double]
    Pixel size for binned analysis.
     

Standard parameters

  (chatter = 2) [integer]
    Verbosity of the executable:
chatter = 0: no information will be logged
chatter = 1: only errors will be logged
chatter = 2: errors and actions will be logged
chatter = 3: report about the task execution
chatter = 4: detailed report about the task execution
     
  (clobber = yes) [boolean]
    Specifies whether an existing output event list should be overwritten.
     
  (debug = no) [boolean]
    Enables debug mode. In debug mode the executable will dump any log file output in the console.
     
  (mode = ql) [string]
    Mode of automatic parameters.
