Click to download the tarball for simx. The current version is 0.5.1. The model psf is based on the simulated performance on-axis at 6.0 keV; no variation with energy or off-axis position is included. Energy resolution is based on the current response matrix. Simx is not particularly fast; we are working on this.
Simx is distributed as source code, and requires C compiler to install. It has been tested on linux, OS X, and Solaris (briefly). After downloading the simx tarball, execute the following commands to compile and install the code:
If the code compiled correctly, you should now have a bin/ directory with a copy of simx. We have tested this on Macs running 10.3 and 10.4 and a linux machine running Scientific Linux 4, kernel 2.6.9-67.0.1.
WARNING: This is a BETA release; there are almost certainly bugs, possibly serious ones. Please report any odd behavior on the part of the code to: rsmith@cfa.harvard.edu
When reporting problems, please remember the 'BETA' warning. Please don't hesitate to look at the code and suggest fixes!
