The energy-sensitive monitor
The component E_monitor is sensitive to the xray energy, which in binned in nE bins between \(E_\mathrm {min}\) and \(E_\mathrm {max}\) (in keV).
The output parameters from E_monitor are the total counts, and a file with 1-dimensional data vs. \(E\), similar to TOF_monitor.
