                     (e.g., '1A 1B'), then PROBE is assumed to specify a build order
                     designator instead.

## BRL_BINVERT

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

     INPUT: start is an initial estimate of bin value(s)
            f is a temperature/detector dependent constant

     KEYWORD: none

     OUTPUT: returns an object of the same type and dimension
             as start; object contains energy value(s)

     METHOD: two iterations of Newton-Raphson to solve a
            transcendental equation. A tricky part is the
            argument for alog() can be negative, due to
            electronics offsets (say bin 5 is 0 keV). Since only
            brl_makeedges() calls, we assume some properties
            of argument start. If start is a scalar, then
            we're working on the 511keV line, so we won't have
            start <= 0. For slo, we can have several early
            start values negative. Force these to be NaN, and
            proceed with calculations, then force these to
            ascending negative values on return.

            An accurate approach is to use complex numbers and
            discard the imaginary part of the result. This gives
            correct negative energy results for bin edges, but
            doubles computational effort. It's not worth it.

     NOTES: brl_binvert() should be used only by brl_makeedges()

     REVISION HISTORY:
           14Sep2013: first version
           17Sep2013: added workaround for negative energy

## BRL_DPUCOEFFS

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

     INPUT: flightID is a two-character string to identify
            which payload through a flight inumber (e.g., '1A')

     OUTPUT: [[a1,a2],[b1,b2],[c1,c2]] is a list of 3 sets of
             linear model coefficients, used by brl_makeedges()

     METHOD: linear search; guess if unrecognized input

     REVISION HISTORY:
           16Jan2014 Added constants for payload 2I
           14Sep2013 first version

## BRL_FIND511[1]

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

           pro mygauss() and function brl_find511()

    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

     evaluate gaussian + linear model for use with curvefit()

     model is f(x) = a[0]*exp(-((x-a[1])/a[2])^2) + a[3]x + a[4]

     INPUT: x is where the model is to be evaluated
            a is the current list of 5 parameter values; these
              must be initialized by the caller

     OUTPUT: f is evaluated as a linear+gaussian model
            pder is a list of 5 partial derivatives of f wrt a

     WARNING: for speed, no checks for foolish function evaluation
            requests. Caller is responsible! For instance,
            if one sets a[2]=0 or (x-a[1])/a[2]=1000 for some x,
            expect error msgs and/or nonsense output.

(See projects/barrel/brl_find511.pro)

## BRL_FIND511[2]

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

    + find the slow spectrum bin value of the 511 line

     INPUT: slo list of 256 slow spectrum count rates (counts/second)
            the slo list should not be normalized by bin widths

     OUTPUT: bin value for the 511 peak (usually not an integer)
             -1 on failure (511 peak not found)

     OPTIONS: offset=offset low bdy for 511 search region (default is 100)
              err=err 1-sigma uncertainties for each slo value;
                      this should be should be a list of
                      sqrt(# of counts)/(integration time in seconds)

     ACTION: limit the search to a reasonable part of the
             entire spectrum. Fit a line to the two endpoints
             of the search region, and subtract off the line.
             Then find the midpoint position of the list of
             values exceeding 50% of the max residual. That
             becomes a start guess for the peak location,
             modeled by a line+Gaussian. Amplitude and width are
             hard-coded typical values. Fit model to data and
             get best fit peak location. If the fit looks good,
             return its position; else return -1 to signal failure.

     HISTORY: first version working 31Dec2012/mm

     FUTURE: might need to adjust testing for valid 511 peak

     EXAMPLE: peak = brl_find511(spec, offset=95)
              peak = brl_find511(spec, err=sigmas)

(See projects/barrel/brl_find511.pro)

## BRL_MAKEBKGD

[Previous Routine] [Next Routine] [List of Routines]

     INPUT: energylist is a list of energies (keV)
            alt is altitude in km (25<alt<40)
            mlat is magnetic latitude in degrees (55<|mlat|<90)

     OUTPUT: returns a list of counts/s/kev corresponding to energylist
             returns -1 for input out of range

     METHOD: based on an empirical model derived from BARREL flights
             model is ok between 30 and 8000 keV
             background is primarily two power law components
                these turn over at low energy
                the 511 line contributes several features
             prevent underflows by avoiding exp(-huge number)

     CALLS: none

     EXAMPLE: result = brl_makebkgd([10,20,50,100],33.2,63)
                calculates bkgd differential count rate at the
                4 specified energies for a detector at mag lat
                63 degrees and altitude 33.2 km.

     FUTURE WORK:

    COMMENT
     model ignores solar cycle changes of cosmic ray and associated background X-ray intensity
     the estimation for < 60keV is to some extent affected by detector temperature effect.
     REVISION HISTORY:
     works, tested mm/18 Dec 2012
     version 2, updated LZ/ May 28th, 2013 .

## BRL_MAKEEDGES

[Previous Routine] [List of Routines]

     INPUT: all inputs through keywords

     KEYWORD: keyword parameters
            flightID=flightID      2 char identifier (e.g., '1S')
            dpu_temp=dpu_temp      dpu temperature in C
            xtal_temp=xtal_temp    scintillator temperature in C
            peak511=peak511        sspc location for 511keV; 200
                                   nominal; 0<peak511<4095

     OUTPUT: 3 lists of bin edges are populated with energy values
            slo is a fltarr(257)
            med is a fltarr(49)
            fst is a fltarr(5)
            For these 3 lists, each pair of edges brackets one of the
              256/48/4 spectrum bins. Energy units are keV.
            Energy values below 0 are forced to 0, so it is
            possible for multiple low-end slo bins to have 0
            energy. Counts in these bins should be ignored.

     METHOD: invert an empirical model of bin(Energy). The model
            is bin(E) = k*(offset + gain*E + nonlin*E*Log(E))
            where offset, gain, and nonlin are linear functions
            of DPU temperature, and k is a quadratic function
            of crystal temperature. The dpu
            temperature-dependent linear functions use coefficients
            extracted from thermal chamber data, and are
            retrieved via a function call. Because the coupling
            between scintillator and crystal can change with air
            pressure, the peak511 parameter should be used to
            improve the model for flight data.

            default values for missing options are probably not
            sufficiently accurate

     CALLS: brl_dpucoeffs(flightID) returns temperature model
                    coefficients for associated dpu hardware.
            brl_binvert(start,f) inverts bin(energy) function;
                    needs a start value and factor f

     REVISION HISTORY:
    	works, tested mm/Oct 2012
           25Nov2012: added temperature compensation and
                      corrections for crystal nonlinearity
