Bugs

  1. Sherpa doesn't set the ANCRFILE keyword correctly when writing faked data to a PHA file.

Bugs

  1. Sherpa doesn't set the ANCRFILE keyword correctly when writing faked data to a PHA file.

    When FAKEIT is run using a background dataset, RMF, and ARF and then the simulated data is saved, the BACKFILE and RESPFILE keywords have the correct value, but ANCRFILE is set to "none".

    Workaround:

    use dmhedit to add the correct ANCRFILE value to the file header.
