set_xschatter
(level)[source] [edit on github]¶ Set the chatter level used by X-Spec.
Set the chatter setting used by the X-Spec routines for determining what information gets printed to the screen. It is equivalent to the X-Spec
chatter
command [1].Parameters: level (int) – The higher the value of level
, the more screen output will be created by X-Spec routines. A value of0
hides most information while25
will generate a lot of debug output.See also
Notes
The default chatter setting used by Sherpa is
0
, which is lower than - so, creates less screen output - the default value used by X-Spec (10
).There is no way to change the X-Spec “log chatter” setting.
