Description

Trying to use the gti_checking option

What I Did

Called beans as recommended in the example, but set gti_checking to 1:

gti_checking=1, gtiname='/Users/duncan/python/beans/data/1808_gti.txt', 
  ...:           theta= (0.5, 0.015, 0.2, 2.1, 3.5, 0.108, 0.90, 0.5, 1.4, 11.2), 
  ...:           numburstssim=3, bc=1., threads = 4, restart=False)
Reading in observation data files ...
Observations found: 
 persistent fluxes = [2.437 2.524 2.501 2.536 2.541 2.298 2.084 1.946 1.913 1.853 1.826 1.695
 1.667 1.652 1.511 1.44  1.469 1.465 1.458 1.441 1.361 1.323 1.295 1.259
 1.247 1.184]
 You have chosen gti_checking = 1, so the gti data is st = [-52562.42413039 -52562.36069289 -52562.29476696 -52562.22902622
 -52562.16178085 -52562.09717437 -52562.029929   -52561.9655077
 -52561.37159567 -52561.30585493 -52561.24079706 -52561.17505631

examination of the example GTI file suggests those values are already relative to some reference time rather than MJD as expected in the code

Thank you for letting me know about this. I have updated the gti file for 1808 in 'data/1808_gti.txt' to contain the gtis in MJD now. Just pull the latest version of the repository and it should replace the 1808_gti file with the new one.
