XML file that describes the astrophysical sources and the instrumental background. | ||
outfile [file] | ||
Output event list or observation definition file. | ||
(prefix = "sim_") [string] | ||
Prefix for event list in observation definition file. | ||
caldb [string] | ||

(seed = 1) [integer] | ||
Integer seed value to be used for Monte Carlo simulations. | ||
ra [double] | ||
Right Ascension of CTA pointing (J2000, in degrees). | ||
dec [double] | ||
Declination of CTA pointing (J2000, in degrees). | ||
rad [double] | ||
Radius of CTA field of view (simulation cone radius) (in degrees). | ||
tmin [double] | ||
Mission elapsed start time of observation (in seconds). | ||
tmax [double] | ||
Mission elapsed stop time of observation (in seconds). | ||
emin [double] | ||
Lower energy limit of events (in TeV). | ||
emax [double] | ||

Standard parameters
(chatter = 2) [integer] | ||
Verbosity of the executable:chatter = 0 : no information will be
loggedchatter = 1 : only errors will be loggedchatter = 2 : errors and actions will be
loggedchatter = 3 : report about the task
executionchatter = 4 : detailed report about the
task execution |
||
(clobber = yes) [boolean] | ||
