setft1 ft1file

setft2 ft2file

setzmax angle(deg)

setene emin(MeV) emax(MeV)

setevtcl class(1=source, 2=diffuse)

setconvtype val(-1=all; 0=front; 1=back)

setirfs irfs(string)

settime tmin tmax

expomap energy(eg.1e3) outfile (eg. exposure.fits)

ft1stat colname

ft2stat colname

mktime cuts	gtmktime wrapper
setroi ra dec radiussource_radius(>radius)
setextragalmodel extragalacticModel(template file) or PL (for default standard Powerlaw) For example, see: https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/download/attachments/29917191/template_Aug.dat Please specify the full path of the file.
setgalmodel galacticModel or ST (for default model distributed with the Science tools For example, see: https://confluence.slac.stanford.edu/display/SCIGRPS/Diffuse+Model+for+Analysis+of+LAT+Data Please specify the full path of the file.
setxmlmodel xmlmodel
xmlmodel cmap_pix_size (eg. 0.5 deg)
Notes: Use setroi to define your region of interest; the xmlmodel is based on the sources detected by PGWave in the roi xmlmodel1 sourcename. The model is based only on the source position given by the user (no PGWave run).

setulike region_evt.fits expCube.fits expMap.fits region.xml

ulike	Full like analysis of a roi (you have to set ft1,ft2,roi or use the setulike command)
*catulike outfile	Use the catalog group script to perform unbinned likelihood; use setulike before to digit this command.
