Hi Terry,

The message of Philippe has probably answered the questions about the
Deadtime_corr program.
The FITS format did not let enough space the rad all the information
from the original image header.  That's why the FITS header does not
contain the information about the detector count rates.
Do you really use RST files from the CDROM? These files contain the full
image header.  In that case I could give you information about how to
use them. If you don't, you can estimate the detector count rate from a
reference spectrum in a staight forward way by using the SUMER
simulator, if you place the wavelength at the reference pixel and select
the correct slit.

Best regards.
Udo
