cslightcrv
Computes a lightcurve for a given source.
Synopsis
This script computes a lightcurve by performing a maximum likelihood fit
using ctlike in a series of time bins. The time bins can be either
specified in an ASCII file, as an interval divided into equally sized time
bins, or can be taken from the Good Time Intervals of the observation(s).
The format of the ASCII file is one row per time bin, each specifying the
start of stop value of the bin, separated by a whitespace. The times are
given in Modified Julian Days (MJD).
cslightcrv writes the fitted model parameters and their statistical errors
in a FITS file. In addition, it computes for each time bin the statistical
significance of the detection, expressed by the Test Statistics, and the
upper flux limit.

Standard parameters
- (chatter = 2) [integer]
- Verbosity of the executable:
