phaIIpulse

Name
            phaIIpulse
Purpose
            determine pulse profile from phaII data (alternative to
            fasebin_flc and readpulse_pha2)
Category
            X-ray astronomy
Calling Sequence
        PRO phaIIpulse,file,phase,rate,raterr,band=band,eband=eband, $
                      nobacksub=nobacksub,phaseshift=phaseshift
Input Parameters
        file:  name of the phaII file to be read
Optional Input Parameters
        none
Keyword Parameters
        band:   2D array containing the lower and upper spectral bin
                to be used for the computation. Default: use all data
        phaseshift: return pulse profile shifted in phase (given in units
                of phase)
        nobacksub: do not background subtract the data
Output Parameters
        phase:  array containing the phase bins (mid of bin)
        rate:   array containing the corresponding count rates
                (background subtracted)
        raterr: ... and their errors (1sigma)
Optional Output
        eband:  2D array containing the energy range of the folded
                profile as determined from the response matrix
                belonging to the phaII file (if found)
Restrictions
       the background file and response matrix must exist.
Procedure

Example
 file='01.01.002/EA7_E_31us_16M_36_1s_ikfb/pca_E_31us_16M_36_1s_excl_ikfb_64.pha'
