This page allows plotting STIX quick-look data and displaying simultaneous observations of external instruments.

1.1 STIX Quick-look Light Curves

STIX quick-look light curves represent time series of counts summed by the detector in five energy bands, with a default integration time of 4 seconds.

The counts have not been adjusted for dead time, transmission, attenuator effects, or rate control regimes. 

The quick-look light curve data from STIX is transmitted to the ground along with other low-latency data. Generally, these data are received by STIX data centers within a timeframe ranging from tens of minutes to two days after their generation on board.
