set_xsxset
(name, value)[source] [edit on github]¶ Set a X-Spec model setting.
Set variables used by X-Spec models. It is equivalent to the X-Spec xset command 1, but only for setting the model database settings. See set_xsabund, set_xscosmo, and set_xsxsect for the other settings.
- Parameters
name (str) – The name of the setting. It is converted to upper case before being used. There is no check that the name is valid.
value (str) – The new value of the setting. It must be given as a string.

Notes
The available settings are listed at 1. Not all the X-Spec model types are supported by Sherpa - for instance X-Spec “mixing models” - so changing some of these settings will make no difference. The X-Spec chatter setting can be increased with set_xschatter if it is not clear if a setting is being used.
The model settings are stored so that they can be included in the output of sherpa.astro.ui.utils.save_all.
