Indicates which specific binning to perform by indicating the type of output file produced. Legal values are CCUBE (a data cube with one or more count maps binned in sky X-Y projected coordinates with the z-axis corresponding to different energy bins), CMAP (count map binned in sky X-Y projected coordinates), LC (light curve binned in time only), PHA1 (spectrum binned in energy), and PHA2 (spectra binned in energy for a series of time ranges/bins).

Note: CCUBE and CMAP are not applicable to GBM TTE data, since they do not have a spatial dependence. PHA1 does not provide time cuts, and thus bins all of the event data.

Spacecraft data file containing information such as spacecraft pointing as a function of time. This file can be generated by gtorbsim for simulated observations (see the gtorbsim help for further explanation) or, more commonly, it can be obtained from SLAC's data portal.

Note: Binning GBM data does not require a spacecraft data file; therefore, this parameter should be set to "none".

Indicates how the time bins will be specified. Legal values are FILE (bins will be read from a bin definition file), LIN (linearly uniform bins), and SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) per time bin. This parameter is only used if the output type requires binning in the time domain; that is, if the "algorithm" parameter is LC or PHA2.

Note: SNR binning has not yet been implemented.

The start time of the first interval for linearly uniform bins in mission elapsed time (MET) seconds. Only used if tbinalg is LIN, and if the output type requires time binning (LC and PHA2; see tbinalg). If this parameter is set to "INDEF", the start value of the original event file is taken as tstart.

Note: tstart is not applicable to PHA1 binning.

The stop time of the last interval for linearly uniform bins in MET seconds. Only used if tbinalg is LIN, and if the output type requires time binning (LC and PHA2;see tbinalg). If this parameter is set to "INDEF", the start value of the original event file is taken as tstop.

Note: tstop is not applicable to PHA1 binning.

The name of the optional time bin definition file. This file is created by the gtbindef tool. (See gtbindef documentation.) This option is used only if tbinalg is FILE, and if the output type requires time binning. (See tbinalg.)

Note: tbinfile is applicable to PHA2 binning, but not to PHA1 binning.

Signal-to-noise ratio per time bin. This parameter is only used if tbinalg is SNR, and if the output type requires time binning. (See tbinalg.)

Note: This option is not fully implemented yet.

Lower bound of energy range (in MeV) used to determine the bins in signal-to-noise binning. Note that all events in the input file will be binned, but only events that are in the range [lcemin, lcemax] contribute to the signal statistics for purposes of determining when to start a new time bin. This option is used only if SNR was selected in tbinalg, and if the output type requires time binning. (See tbinalg.)

Note: SNR binning has not yet been implemented.

Activate debugging mode. (default: no)

When debug is "no", all exceptions that are not caught and handled by individual tool-specific code are caught by a top-level exception handler that
displays information about the exception and then exits.

When debug is "yes", such exceptions are not caught by the top level code. Instead the tool produces a segmentation violation, which is more useful for debugging. When debugging mode is enabled, the tool produces more verbose output describing any errors or exceptions that are encountered.
