xmmselect table=MOS.evt &First a window pops-up, asking if you wish to visualize the "[...] selection expression [...]" corresponding to "[...] data subspace information [...]". In practise, xmmselect is asking you if you wish to see the data screening expression, which was employed to generate the event list. The answer to this question does not affect the following steps.
The xmmselect call pops-up a window as shown in Fig.1.
Fig.1: The main
xmmselect window
In this window, we identify:
This will pop-up another window: the evselect parameter user interface (see Fig.2).
Fig.2: The main
evselect window
On this multi-panel window, one should at least:
Fig.3: The Lightcurve panel in the
evselect window
As customary for SAS task, each widget, button or menu in the evselect window corresponds to a task parameter. The whole list of available evselect parameters, with their description, is available at the evselect task description.
Once Run is clicked, dsplot is silently run on the created light curve, and the corresponding grace window appears (see Fig.4)
Fig.4: A
grace
window, displaying a light curve, and one interval created as explained
in text
Be aware that grace allows you to define several different types of intervals. Among the normally most useful: Above/Below line, in Vert. Range, Out of Horiz/Vert. Range, Left/Right of line
When you are happy with your definition, click the button 1D region in the xmmselect window. The selection region will be automatically transferred into the data selection widget of the xmmselect window, and properly translated into a selectlib expression

evselect window
xmmselect will automatically launch a ds9 window on the created image

has been defined using the highlighted menu.

evselect window
If you are interested in learning how to extract the background spectra from blank sky event lists, please click here.
Currently there are two possible approaches:
a) use the SAS task rmfgen to create a redistribution matrix for your previously extracted spectrum:
rmfgen -d. The GUI launch interface will appear (see Fig.8)
NOTE: This can take long (>30 min) on low-performance computers...

rmfgen
launch GUI interface
b) use the ready-made (canned) matrices available at the following URL: http://xmm.esac.esa.int/external/xmm_sw_cal/calib/epic_files.shtml
NOTE: arfgen reads in the pattern range from the DSS information in the spectrum dataset, and accumulates the quantum efficiency curves over those patterns, which is then combined to the other constituents of the ARF. Be aware that the entire range of allowed patterns are assumed if no pattern range is found in the DSS.
