# Routine Descriptions

## ELF_CAL_EPD

[Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    PROCEDURE:
       elf_cal_epd

    PURPOSE:
       Calibrate EPD raw data (counts/sector) into calibrated products.
       Supported product types are:
       - 'raw': raw data from epd packets
       - 'cps': counts per second [counts/s] in 16 ADC pulse-height channels
       - 'nflux': differential-directional number flux [#/cm^2-s-str-MeV] in 16 energy channels
       - 'eflux': differential-directional energy flux [MeV/cm^2-s-str-MeV] in 16 energy channels

    KEYWORDS:
       tplotname: name of tplot variable containing epd data. tvars include ela_pef, ela_pif,
                  ela_pes, ela_pis (and same for elb)
       trange:    time range of interest [starttime, endtime] with the format
                  ['YYYY-MM-DD','YYYY-MM-DD'] or to specify more or less than a day
                  ['YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss','YYYY-MM-DD/hh:mm:ss']
       type: type of calibrated data cps, nflux, eflux
       probe:  name of probe 'a' or 'b'
       nodownload: set this flag to force routine to use local files
       deadtime_corr: set this flag to zero to not correct for deadtime, or to your preferred deadtime (default = 8.e-6 seconds)

    AUTHOR:
     2021-03-21 (VA) added capability for summed spins [normalizes cps etc. accordingly]
                            also vectorized dt (accumulation time) division, avoiding do-loops (faster)
     2021-02-19 (VA) fixed: dt to median over spin (does not falter if it includes gaps)
                            overaccumulation now applied along with dt, prior to deadtime
                            dead time correction now applied on total cps in sector
                            revised maxcps to 1.25e5 +2% after review of all 2019 data
                            eliminated <0 val's from deadtime cor. (set=0 & then nearest-neighbor interpol.)

     EXAMPLES:
             elf> cal_params = elf_get_epd_calibration(probe='a', instrument='epde')

     NOTES:  This routine is obsolete and has been replaced by elf_read_epd_cal_data. Originally this
             routine was written to read the initial calibration data. The calibration data has now been
             split into 2 different files - one containing calibration data, the other containing operational
             data.
