xstar-xspec-initable

xstar-xspec-initable is the native XSTAR2XSPEC grid planner. It creates:

xstinitable.lis
xstinitable.fits

The default command contract targets xstar-cpp.

From xstinitable.par

xstar-xspec-initable \
  --input xstinitable.par \
  --data-dir /path/to/xstar/data \
  --output-dir plan

From direct values

xstar-xspec-initable \

  rlogxityp=2 rlogxisof=0 rlogxi=5 rlogxinst=6 rlogxiint=0 \
  columntyp=2 columnsof=1e20 column=1e24 columnnst=9 columnint=1

help

--xstar fortran preserves the canonical historical xstar key=value command contract. It does not change the grid definition itself.

The generated xstinitable.fits is the canonical metadata input for xstar-xspec-table and the complete xstar-xspec/xstar-xspec-mpi pipelines.
