If you encounter issues while running the script, consider the following steps:

  1. Check for missing files: Ensure that all required input files (e.g., ccf.cif, event files, attitude files) are present in each folder.

  2. Review the log file: The log file (nohup.out) contains detailed information about each step of the process. Search for error messages to identify where the problem occurred.

  3. Environment Variables: Make sure that SAS is correctly initialized, and the SAS_CCF variable points to the correct calibration file.

  4. Common Errors:

    • Missing or corrupt event files: Verify that your event files (EPICclean-EMOS1.ds, EPICclean-EPN.ds, etc.) are properly generated and uncorrupted.
    • SAS environment not set: Ensure that your SAS installation is correctly configured.

If these steps don't resolve the issue, try rerunning the specific step that failed and check for detailed error messages in the output.
