Command syntaxΒΆ
This chapter contains a brief explanation of the most relevant syntax used in SPEX. Each subchapter is divided in an overview, an explanation of the use of syntax followed by some practical examples.

- Calculate: evaluate the spectrum
- Comp: create, delete and relate spectral components
- Data: read response file and spectrum
- DEM: differential emission measure analysis
- Distance: set the source distance
- Egrid: define model energy grids
- Elim: set flux energy limits
- Error: Calculate the errors of the fitted parameters
- Fit: spectral fitting
- Ibal: set type of ionisation balance
- Ignore: ignoring part of the spectrum
